Georgia's roads are increasingly dangerous for pedestrians and motorists
BLUF:[Just the News] "Another reason drivers are out of control is because of drugs, especially the legalization of marijuana," Lieberman said. "Despite some people claiming that marijuana is 'no big deal,' it does impair perception — amongst many other effects." Another reason drivers are out of control is because they literally are, Lieberman said. "Emotionally, people are feeling lost in this 'new normal,' whose parameters are still not clear — except that the world seems to be in big trouble," Lieberman said. "Between inflation, homelessness and the border crisis on the domestic front, and Putin and China spy balloons on the foreign front, many of us feel that the world may be coming to an end — so why not drive recklessly? "Also, people are angrier than they ever were before," Lieberman added. "They're angry that their world has been turned upside down, so they are more aggressive — especially after many hours playing violent video games during lockdown. So, they're taking out their aggression in the form of road rage — air rage, domestic violence and so on." Another issue appears to be policing changes in the past couple of years.
