Does it seem like people are driving faster and tailgating more than ever?

It appears to be getting worse in the Baton Rouge area. People are absolutely flying, tailgating, and zig zagging all over. It’s crazy how many people drive like complete dickheads.

Is it getting worse or am
I just noticing it? Crazy more fatal wrecks don’t happen.

You need to quit driving so slow in the left lane, and get the hell out of my way!

I find the opposite to be happening. People are driving slow and leaving huge gaps in front of them because they are staring at their phone.

Agreed. It’s what happens when there is zero traffic enforcement. I remember the days when NOPD had traffic cops. Those days are long gone. I’m sure it is the same in BR.

Stupid frickers are driving like they have no fricking place to be. If that’s the case, stay home.

And texting drivers are 8 out of 10.

If you ever want to get rear-ended just drive around LSU on Stanford and you can hit the jackpot with some sorority chick in her Land Rover who’s dad is a gynecologist.

I see it mostly with assholes in pick up trucks. Those frickers will even tailgate in the right hand lane. They think they're driving Nascar or some shite.

Especially young women.
It used to be young guys in muscle cars driving fast/tailgating.
Now it's usually young bimbos in Honda Civics, and with one eye on their cell phone.

No more people are playing on the phone instead of driving slowing the flow of traffic

It’s true, but as Baton Rouge grows and population of fatherless idiots continues to boom and the metro areas of Nola and BR grow to the point that it’s just one big southeast Louisiana city, the drivers and the traffic will just get worse in this shithole state. Not to mention the deterioration of roads here.

Happens in every big city just about. Drivers and driving gets worse and worse.

It’s getting worse. So many people out there think their time is worth more than anyone else’s and decide to go about their daily lives endangering others. It’s pathetic.
