It's not just your imagination. Drivers in the pandemic have gotten more reckless
CNN
As the coronavirus pandemic emptied out highways drivers engaged in riskier behavior, making 2020 the deadliest year for US traffic crashes in more than a decade.
More motorists went too fast, failed to buckle up and drove under the influence of drugs and alcohol, according to law enforcement and traffic safety experts. The outcome was grim. About 38,680 people died in vehicle crashes in the US last year -- the highest number since 2007, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Fatalities also increased among motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians, even as the number of miles driven nationwide dropped by 13.2% compared to 2019.
