Just a thought that maybe many behind the wheel are driving overly cautious because they aren’t legally operating a motor vehicle in the first place.

EXCELLENT POINT……and could that be why car insurance has doubled?

Those that aren’t legally operating a motor vehicle in the first place are young males who don’t speak English who’ve arrived in America since January 20th, 2021. They’re the last people in the world that drive carefully, they’re actually driving very recklessly. They don’t have license or insurance or even valid IDs. They are clogging up the court system.
