Has anyone else noticed the wild and crazy driving on the interstate. More and more racing
As well as no concern for others.

Go to Europe where motorcycles split the lanes at 60.

It’s awful all over the country. Enforcement has gone way down in the last 5-7 years. I saw cops out yesterday for the first time in what feels like forever.

That's everywhere dude. Here in Colorado you take your life into your hands every time you drive I-25. Here our problems are with F250 and bigger. Usually white males with those skeleton stickers on the window. Don't have the Nissan Altima problem here.

Come drive in Atlanta. It's like being in a 75 mph demolition derby with the added benefit of smelling weed coming out of half the cars on the interstate.

Well, from my 5 times driving through Atlanta, you must be talking about late night driving because when I ventured through the interstate system it was damn near gridlock and barely creeping along.

I like dealing with the 4 wheelers and wheelie-ing dirt bikes.

Meh. Not near as bad as Baton Rouge or Houston.

I will say that driving through New Orleans east sucks.m

Get out the way with your slow driving, some of us have places to be.

I thought New Orleans was bad until I experienced Memphis. No fricks given.

From the high rise to the twin span feels like a nascar race. Everyone doing 80+ and you either end up in the wall or win the race.

Atlanta and Dallas are horrific because of the sheer number of drivers, but Memphis has more maniacs per capita for sure.

Yeah, cops went hands off pretty much across the country during/after covid with speed and it shows. I've pulled out more dead people from their cars in the last three years than I have in the twelve years before. Everyone things they're Mario Andretti behind the wheel when they actually have the driving skills of Ralph Wiggum.

Been like that since Katrina

You never see NOPD or state troopers.

From the St.Tammany parish line to the Jeff Parish line you can go 80 all the way.

Bonus points if you kill one of those motorcycle morons on the rice burners splitting lanes and weaving through traffic.

I do notice the people who will recklessly weave throughout traffic and change lanes for the sake of just getting one car ahead.

One of those drivers was tailgating me and I thought it was because I wasn't speeding. Nah, each time, I see those aggressive drivers just driving like a maniac.

My Instagram algorithm is now pretty much APD car chases and such. It makes me second guess bringing my family into the city without good reason.

The lady that killed the kid in Little Five Points and was flipping everyone off yelling “frick all yall” as they loaded her into the ambulance really pushed me over.

I-35 in Austin makes Nola's I-10 look calm.

I-10 going west at the Veterans exit is a cluster.. Far right lane of 4 lanes is exit only for Vets and people don't realize that until the last second and couple that with people cutting over at the last second to exit... Right after Vets exit is a canal overpass that made it impossible to continue with the 4 lanes...
