I've been seeing similar. Anger, possible hate. Speeding, recklessness. "Me first". Mindlessness, carelessness. Way too much phone use by drivers.I’m noticing people are angrier on the road. Drivers are confronting one another more commonly now. People drive more brazenly in inclement weather. Like society, courtesy on the road is starting to degrade. We don’t know what these people are going through in life so it’s just best to let them go and move on. Being in an accident, even when it’s not your fault is a really big hassle. Wife’s car got totaled, car was old but very low mileage. Thankfully she was ok but we got a car note now.
The phone and texting is out of hand, and def not hands-free. I can't tell you how many lights I've had to sit through because some PoS can't be bothered to look up while texting. There is definitely a growing 'f-you' sentiment.I've been seeing similar. Anger, possible hate. Speeding, recklessness. "Me first". Mindlessness, carelessness. Way too much phone use by drivers.
It’s gonna be bad in the Kenner area. The winds are blowing west. I was in Kenner yesterday and it was pretty badWifes driving to NO this morn. Any word on the driving conditions.
Tending to clients, covering ground yesterday I had to detour due to that pile-up, went through Mandeville and took the Causeway. There appeared to be fog on the Southshore and it smelled horrible, like something burning or perhaps smog. I had to air my vehicle out after I cleared it.The phone and texting is out of hand, and def not hands-free.

Also, this wreck is awful, I never heard about it until I saw this post.
Yesterday the fog was so thick at 4:30am that I thought there was a power outage, but the street lights and all would show up when I was about -300ft from them. It was the thickest fog I've driven through in years, and also the air smelled like burning electrical wires all last night.
I also feel for the innocent and all those affected by this. Such a tragedy.I drove the interstate to work for over 20 years and can testify how stupid people are. Rain storms, fog, in the dark, AM and PM where you couldn't see 20 ft ahead of you and they drive like a clear day. Plus the times someone driving the wrong direction , more than once, on an elevated interstate 5 miles from the nearest on/off ramp. Un-f^^^king believable the crazies I witnessed...
This was bound to happen

Terrible and will be for the next few mornings. I would advise her to leave early and look into alternate routes if need be.Wifes driving to NO this morn. Any word on the driving conditions.
Nothing against you when I say this, but this (and I am just as guilty of it) is what is wrong. We continue to let people do this type of behavior and it just gets worse with time. I do not know the solution. Wish I did, we ( good people of the society) as a whole shrug a lot off as “not my business” or “not my problem” and eventually it does become our problem.We don’t know what these people are going through in life so it’s just best to let them go and move on.
Yeah I agree. I think of the story of joe mcknight’s road rage incident. We got one guy dead and one guy in jail over something that could have easily been avoided. As much as I want to give the finger, chase em down and cuss em out, I don’t. Cuz I know I’m carrying and sh*t can escalate in a millisecond. I know I’m carrying, I don’t know if they’re carrying. If they shoot, I’m not going to have any choice but to shoot back. I have no choice but to avoid it since I always have my 10 and 4 year old girls with me. What can we do to stop idiocy on the road? Who knows. I always try to ignore and move on. You’re absolutely right, we do nothing, it gets worse.Nothing against you when I say this, but this (and I am just as guilty of it) is what is wrong.

Our service Sunday morning was basically about the same.
I flipped a guy off who cut me off on I-10 in Houston, when I had my whole family in the car, and he tried to run us off the road. He literally tried to kill us because I flipped him off when he was an A-hole and in the wrong.Yeah I agree. I think of the story of joe mcknight’s road rage incident.

I do not flip people off anymore when I have a passenger, and I am much less likely to do it to anyone period. I knew better then and was lucky.
I used to flip people off all the time. We get older, we get wiser. Don’t get me started on driving in texas. I can go on a total rant. I’ve got a ton of in-laws in texas. Funny thing is…they’re all super anti-gun liberals. I wanna tell em they should move to California, but I keep my mouth shut and tell my wife they should move to CaliforniaI flipped a guy off who cut me off on I-10 in Houston, when I had my whole family in the car, and he tried to run us off the road.

Give it a few years and Texas will go from purple to solid blue. They've blued Austin and are moving outwards.I used to flip people off all the time. We get older, we get wiser.
