Traffic enforcement? That’s a joke. I travel to Newburgh Ny every day, cops in New York show alot of presence and it does make a difference. Had a CT trooper this morning make two moving violations in a row. All because he needed to exit , mind you he sped up got in front of me only to slow down to make the exit ramp. WTF. Class act. How’s that for high jinks

The thing is… cops lie. All the time. Constantly. About everything.

They literally are not doing their jobs. Purposely.

I’ve stopped running on local roads because I know I am going to be killed by a driver, and the cops won’t do a damn thing about it

A couple weeks ago I was in the same area headed the same way and was passed by two cars that were clearly racing each other. I was doing 80+ myself in the middle lane and they flew by me, one on each side, at the same time going insanely fast. A second later a state cop goes speeding by. I literally started cheering for second 🤦‍♂️ but then all the state cop did was start aggressively tailgating people themselves and completely ignored the racers. I genuinely couldn’t believe. I still can’t. It was so blatant. The police have truly given up on all road safety enforcement.

I hate the Indy 500 drivers weaving in and out. Should be automatic license lost

It surprises me how the uconn bus drivers never hit anyone

Yeah but that tiktok they were watching was really funny and shit.

Don’t be silly, I’ve been demonizing them for the past two(+) decades.

Computer privacy shield. You’re welcome.

You don’t deserve to be downvoted. They would do us a favor by staying home. The same amount of work would be done.

You’re not wrong. All of our insurance rates are going up because of post pandemic driving stupidity. It’s all selfishness, me first/I’m the only person on the road mentality that’s driving the unsafe behavior and increased accident rates.

I don’t really care. They need to cut the shit.

Hopefully that never happens. They aren’t effective.

The police demonize themselves.

Nearly the same thing happened to me. Turning left at at a light, have a green arrow. Just get a weird feeling and decide to stop for a second before going. Some black SUV easily going 50/60 MPH in a 35 barrels through the red light to my left. Narrowly misses me.

Few years back in college at UConn, I was biking on campus. I had the walk symbol at a crosswalk and start to cross when a UCONN BUS no less runs the red light and nearly runs me over.

Infuriating the absolute carelessness of drivers in this state.

i'm so terrified to drive on the highway for this reason

Marianna's Belltop has excellent zeppole.

They drive unsafe all the time — fuck them

Overall behaviors and attitudes of drivers have gotten so much worse since the pandemic and sadly continue to do so. I swear it wasn’t this bad before pre pandemic.

Yikes that’s so damn scary glad you are okay. But yeah the damn nerve of them when clearly ran a red long after you had a green

I was at a light a couple of weeks ago; a left turn lane, straight lane and a right turn/straight lane. I’m in the middle w a townie cop in the right, we’re both in the front of the line. A pickup truck goes flying through red, we had the green. I see the cop watch the whole thing and did not do a damn thing.

Yes, people are constantly going through lights after they turn red, usually with another car behind them. It's ridiculous how bad it has gotten.

Welcome to greater Hartford. Speed up or move over
