The Coronavirus Chronicles -Three Strikes You're Out

[Gone in 60]

Quote:Where I live, it might be my imagination, but it sure looks like people are leaving more space between them and next car, as if the idea of social distancing rubs off on as we drive.
I'm finding the same situation here in Orange County. Everyone seems to be driving very courteously. However, I'm hearing more sirens than normal outside my house, and it was reported that yesterday, nearby, a police car was involved in an accident while responding to a road rage incident.

This past Saturday, I drove to north San Diego to check on my mom and my in-laws. About 75 miles south on I-5 from me. On a typical late Saturday morning, there would be pockets of heavy traffic. But, everyone was evenly spaced out, all going between 65 and 70. Almost like the whole scene was staged, and no visible Highway Patrol presence. Among all of this, there was the occasional Corvette, BMW or Mustang that would streak by doing between 90 and 100, most likely because they could for once.
