Agree completely with the sentiments in this thread.

Seems like the aggression, disregard for basic rules of the road, and general incompetence has really been taken up a level or two in the past few years. I love driving but it's an increasingly scary experience. I got hit in my car a little over a month ago on West Main Road by some idiot who shouldn't be licensed. It would take too long to explain the full scope of his idiocy, but let's just say it didn't take long to come down as 100% his fault.

Additionally when I head out on the bike (or car) I can't even leave my street without passing over a "POI" spray painted in the road. 2 dead cyclists in 3 months within a mile of my house.

Police presence, never mind actual enforcement, seems minimal at best. Not sure if it's a result of reduced budgets or what.
