Default Is it just me?

Maybe it is... but do all the stupid drivers come out on Saturday night in queens and NYC??

I was driving around between queens and Manhattan tonight and I counted no less than 12 cars that had headlights OFF.

One lady was in her SUV, headlights off and putting MAKE UP on... Changing lanes without signaling... AND she ran a redlight.

People taking off ramps at 70+ mph cutting off the rest of the exiting traffic.

I saw an IS doing 70+ cutting through traffic and going across 3 lanes without signaling.

I saw no less than 6 accidents in manhattan and 4+ once I got back into queens.

I hope you guys are keeping it safe on the road!

Honestly it seems like its just getting worse. yesterday while going from the cross island to the grand central to get on the clearview I sat in traffic for at least 30 minutes. It started on the ramp for the grand central and ended maybe a mile before the clearview exit. 3 car accident, and I counted no less than 3 close calls because everyone was driving like an idiot. I actually thought the guy behind me clipped the car next to me because he was trying to force his way over.

I guess those drivers think "Sharing The Road" in the Drivers Manual is over rated.
