A relative lives in a city with higher transit usage than Indy, and told me about “COVID cars” recently. Those are old cheap cars, and they are bought by workers who used to ride transit before the pandemic, so they aren’t necessarily good experienced drivers. Put bad drivers in bad cars and you might get more highway deaths.
COVID is the gift that keeps on giving…
Wow, 65% of them have alcohol or drugs in their system. You would think with ride sharing services this number would go down not up. From my personal view I am amazed at how many people I see still looking at their phones. It’s sad that with all we know and other options that drivers are becoming more dangerous and distracted. Maybe self driving cars will be best even if their are a few mishaps.
I’ve seen the speeding firsthand. If you’ve ventured out on 465 lately, the average speed jumped from around 70 to between 75 and 80+. During the early days of the pandemic, there were also noticeably fewer police monitoring drivers’ speed.
During the early days of the pandemic, March through Memorial Day, traffic was extremely light and there was no one cruising at 63 in the left lane of 465 while passing traffic moving at 62 in the center lane. The road was very safe without the rolling roadblocks.
.
Now those drivers are back on the road and still ignorant of the “left lane bandit” law. And texting or holding a phone despite the hands-free law.
