Ya I can't say it's the worse here but me being on the road all day I feel like I see it more than most. I visit Cleveland a couple time a year and it's probably worse there. Drivers on the highway there are daredevils

Honestly I think a lot of it has to do with the rise of smart phones/big ass screens in the car. People have always driven recklessly but now there's another distraction. I appreciate the convenience but I've seen a lot of people hold their phone between their hands on the wheel. Also I want to preface this by saying I absolutely have nothing against weed, but the amount of people I've seen smoke a joint outside the bar or eat an edible and then get into their vehicles and drive home a half hour later is staggering.

Both of those, and the fact that most districts cut drivers ed around ten years ago. With bad driver parents now the only ones training new drivers, this is what we get.
