Snowbird season is the most dangerous because they'll do the speed limit while everyone else is doing 80+
The distracted driving is out of control though. People giving 5 car lengths at stoplights so they can scroll their phones

Granted, I don't drive anywhere near as much as I used to, but I rarely see cops anymore, and almost never see cops pull people over. I-88 by my house is like a combination between the Indy 500 and Mad Max, and most days, not a trooper in sight. There was a time when I wouldn't dare go more than 10 over on any road up here and cops were a nearly constant presence. Doing 70 in a 55 was like dangling your junk in the face of the gods. Not anymore.
My FIL lives in Buffalo Grove. I used to allow myself 45 minutes to make the drive to his house. Now it routinely takes me half an hour. I'm not complaining, but it never stops being odd.
