Is bad driving becoming an epidemic, or is it just my imagination? It seems like every time I’m out on the road, I see senseless crashes for which there’s really no excuse. Yesterday, I nearly got hit when some moron drove right through a red light after I was in the intersection. No braking, just on the gas and right through. On the way back, two more clowns plowed into each other near my driveway.
Today I went into town to the bank and two more idiots ran into each other, both apparently not paying attention. They hit so hard it tore the rear axle out from under the pickup and flipped it over, sliding down the street on its roof. Thankfully, it wasn’t a Dodge, and nobody was seriously hurt.
These were all in clear, dry weather on good roads with moderate traffic. Most of the crashes appear to be caused by total ineptness. Here’s a picture of a Dodge pickup rolled over in a front yard in my town. It landed on their front porch; for no apparent reason. Am I the only one that’s noticed this epidemic?
