 I don't like that I'm participating in that all-too-common practice of rhetorically asking if life isn't as safe now as it was in the good old days. And maybe it's just me, but I feel like driving these days isn't as safe as it used to be. So what's going on? I don't have any research behind me, no statistics or scholarly data, and if you have any, please send it my way, but I've been thinking that drivers are driving more dangerously out of a growing selfishness in our society.
