Before things reopened back, I was cruising on the highways and roads without any problems. There weren't that many slow "I'm taking my sweet time" people on the road or boomers doing 20mph in their neighborhood single roads.

Today I witnessed 2 major accidents on the roads, fortunately nobody was seriously injured but accidents are coming back even when the weather is so good because of too many bad drivers.

One of the accident, it looks like someone made a left turn in front of another car presuming the other car would stop in time or under estimated the speed of oncoming traffic.

Second accident the Mercedes got rear ended probably trying to turn into a store and the car behind was too close.

More accidents since May. Many people forgot how to drive.

March and April was a dream drive on the LIE

It's back on the Deegan too. And around where Dallas BBQ is? Oh, that's a tough intersection. Heavy volume!

One thing I don't see are.. cops. So that has something to do with it, too. (Hint: Those that know how to drive, take full advantage. Just beware of when you have met your match.)

Why do you live in NJ if you don't wish to share the road with others? Go live in the country. People aren't gonna lock themselves in the house for your driving pleasure.

People have been reckless on the road in recent months. I heard accidents went up despite the less traffic. People speeding getting overconfident. I still hear cars screeching on turns and souped up engines roaring. Its like some decided to live out thier Fast and Furious movie fantasies.

Also the number of people pulling over and swinging open thier doors without looking. I bike a lot and am more worried about getting doored now then last year.
