I think that drivers got used to going at "Covid speed" during the lockdown because traffic was so light at the time. I've noticed that highway traffic has been going faster than pre-Covid times ever since.
Only in my neck of the woods.... Haven't noticed a difference. Then again, most drivers in NYC drive like either idiots or the most self-centered jerks in the world. Take your pick. Always been that way. The last idiot I encountered was one of those who thinks the proper way to use a turn signal is to flick it, and then instantly jump into the other lane. Don't bother looking. Ironically, I wasn't as upset as I'd usually be. He's driving a Nissan. I recognized the model and the trim level was shown on the back. Once he goes over 40K miles that garbage Jatco CVT in it is going to fall apart. Judging by the looks of his vehicle, state it was in, he couldn't afford a hot-dog. Much less a tranny replacement.I think that drivers got used to going at "Covid speed" during the lockdown because traffic was so light at the time.

As a cyclist and a pedestrian I get a first-hand look at the awful driving habits here. Honestly, the term sociopathic best fits a lot of the driving I see. I especially hate the lane-jockeying to gain a few places at the next red light. Not to mention regularly using bike lanes, sometimes even sidewalks, to pass stuck traffic.Then again, most drivers in NYC drive like either idiots or the most self-centered jerks in the world.

I would like to know how Greta's doing....it's been a minute since I've seen a post of hers.
