They are also hiding that the people driving more dangerously are unlicensed illegals.
Great point on the Illegals. I’m not as sure that Americans simply decided to start driving crazy, although with all of the psych drugs now, perhaps that’s the reason.
Bingo, they left out one of the biggest factors. Drivers with car insurrance have to pay higher rates the more uninsured drivers in their areas. The insurance companies know where there is large numbers of the uninsured.
That is why many poorer folks who need insurance end up paying higher premiums than more wealthy people that live in areas with fewer uninsured drivers.
Bingo.
THAT’S the deal breaker!
They are not the only ones driving more dangerously. Age seems to be the predominant factor. Frankly I think a good many teenagers and young adults no longer have the maturity to be behind the wheel of a car. Red lights are simply a suggestion and the post speed limit is seen as a challenge.
I think removing actual driver’s ed from schools was a mistake.
Agree. Also, there are a LOT of struggling Americans who have silently just said “f@*k it,” I’ll gamble it and go without.
And a lot of unlicensed, uninsured, unregistered Americans, especially the melanin enhanced ones in my area.
This is partly the skyrocketing cost of insurance and auto registration and the utter lack of law enforcement.
