Looks like, in remembrance of George Floyd, more folks spent more time going fast, at night, while high and unbelted.

Where I live, I noticed an uptick of reckless driving from both Whites and Blacks. During the summer-fall of 2020, there seemed to be an atmosphere of "F it" and "F the world". People started driving more reckless, behaving in more reckless ways. During the Spring of 2020, some of my neighbors started to get moody and kind of rude.

I am not a fan of Taki's Mag. This is what it is to me. People who have a disdain for Black people find themselves publishing articles there. It's founder is a Nazi sympathizer. That being said, I read the article. It was written by Steve Sailer, whose work also gets published on Unz Review. Sailer is one of those "race realist" types. He has argued "Blacks aren't as smart as everyone else and need stricter guidance". To me, this is just a polite way of saying "Blacks shouldn't have as many freedoms as everyone else". I can't respect anyone who thinks like that. In this case, Sailer is trying to argue that Blacks need to be afraid in order to obey the law. He's arguing that Black people are getting into more vehicle fatalities because they need an iron hand to stay in line.

Alot of these "race realist" types I have to watch. Some of them might want public policy to be based on that. I don't want public policies based on "race realism". I would have alot to lose as a result of that.

Interesting that you focused on Black people when the statistics for “Other Races” increased by 54%. The yearly increase for Black people was 23%.

Someone should apply for a government grant to study this.
Do the Other Races have more of a propensity to violate the speed limit? Their increase was 54 percent. Why are you so focused on black people?

Hey guys, when looking at numbers like this...there are a lot of factors so beware people pushing one angle.

For example, consider the impact of people no longer commuting. Those are generally going to be a lot of less fatal miles at lower speeds due to congestion.

That can disproportionately impact the remainder of the stats by removing that ballast piece.

It doesn't even require any worse driving by anyone, just remove enough of the safer driving and it looks like a spike.

There's more but that's a good place to stop.

Not a comment on the race of the drivers but I had noticed an increase of street racing during periods of lockdown.

Based on my experiences, I've seen alot of speeding from White people. At the same time, I've seen plenty from Black people. I've never really seen such behavior as specific to race.
