The fact that 22 of those 75 were just this year reinforces my suspicion that drivers have been getting enormously worse recently.
I cycle a lot around my city and no cap I believe that they fucking gift driver licenses in cereal boxes nowadays.
I cannot begin to describe the enormous stupidity one can found on the road.
(And not only drivers, electric scooters are almost worse. At least when I have an accident with them they are the ones who take the worst part).
I haven't done an actual statistical analysis, but relying on my human over-ability to notice patterns and a tendency to laugh at the 11'8" bridge channel on Youtube (said bridge is located in Durham NC and I'm a lowercase t tarheel through and through), most of the trucks that hit the bridge's crash barrier are Ryder, Penske or Enterprise box trucks, which are rental vehicles available, for reasons completely beyond my comprehension, to anyone with a Class C driver's license in the state of North Carolina. Also over-represented are RVs that have their rooftop air conditioners scraped off. The vast majority of drivers that hit the 11'8" bridge are amateurs driving a vehicle significantly larger than they're used to with an absolute height significantly taller than the roof of the cab.
It's the very occasional semi truck that leads to the most spectacular, and baffling, crashes. They don't rent articulated trucks to just anyone over 23 with a credit card.
What are our bets on what forever chemical is our generations leaded gasoline?
