However, I have seen at least six this week alone.

Oh yeah, that's been a big thing as traffic returned to pre-Covid levels.

Similar to how I saw a sudden surge in street/drag racing during Covid, I think as much as anything it's indicative of a generally lowered will to live.

Also in the past week I nearly got clipped twice in less than a minute, including a really creative 45 degree "turn" someone made across three lanes of moving traffic. He just gave no fucks whatsoever ... all in a hurry to get to a KFC just up the street (no, I'm not kidding, we watched him turn in)
