Financing every piece of scum with a pulse has consequences. There is no need to exercise self-control to even acquire a car no less drive one to score meth and McDonald’s.

This! And without fail on my way to work the last few months, two idiots driving side by side going about 30 mph blocking both lanes.

More people in the world.
More people on the road.
A certain percentage of people are assholes.
More assholes on the road.

It started when jobs went from 9-5 to 8-4, losing an hour of sleep and being late. Also cars are more powerful than ever, 250 hp is considered underpowered now, 70 mph is an outdated speed. All non residential speed limits need to be increased by 10 mph.

Especially on I-110. I think it might be the banked curves, but they treat it like a racetrack.

Yes someone gets on my arse faster than I can blink. Then people follow so close behind each other in the right lane I can’t move over as fast as the people on my arse would like me to.

It’s what happens when there is zero traffic enforcement. I remember the days when NOPD had traffic cops. Those days are long gone.

Add the illegals from countries that don't have our traffic laws history.

If any tailgaters have a Oklahoma plates that is what they do there. Annoying AF to drive there with tailgaters in the right lane too.

Been saying it for years - cops disappeared from the highways across the country during covid shutdowns and people have gone full retard. Last load I delivered in this run was to the WM DC in Robert - after I left I had to take that 180° ramp to get on 12w and there was some douchey Billy Bob tailgating me and flashing his lights because *gasp* I can't drive 50 mph on a wet turn in a semi.

People need to calm the hell down.

You probably drive extremely conservative and don’t realize how in the way you are

Yes. I was sideswiped a year ago by someone doing 90+ on I-110 & they accelerated after hitting me.

I’ve never seen so much zigzagging at these speeds in my life.

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.


Cops are openly not caring about infractions like that, plus you have more and more slow arse drivers on the road than ever before.

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

On one end of the spectrum you have this. On the other end you have the speed trap towns that everyone (rightfully) hates.

The solution to the problem lies somewhere in the middle of these two.
