| | Interesting Podcast that discusses a theory/hypnosis as to why fatalities on our roads increased during the pandemic, with fewer drivers on our roads. They feel speed and different driving patters are to blame. Americans drove less during the early months of pandemic, yet traffic fatalities increased. There was a sense among many safety experts that this was an anomaly, that fatality rates would revert to trend once people started driving again. That didn’t happen. | | |
