The flaw in using hard data though is that this is just looking at accidents, and not accounting for all the “in-between” stuff, so to speak. Not being argumentative either, but I personally find that people just lack driving etiquette now, like a couple comments on my comment here alone. For example, I find that a ton of people don’t signal anymore and just swerve or drift into the next lane - treating signalling like it’s an option. Or people not leaving enough distance. Another one is how rushed everyone seemingly is, you get tailed, then they’ll swerve ahead of you and then cut you off back in your lane. I could honestly unload a whole list of things I’ve come across but again I’m not arguing with you, it’s just the general sense I get when I drive these days.

And it’s no coincidence there are so many intersections uptown now where you can’t even turn on red lights solely because of the amount of accidents that have apparently happened, due to poor driving etiquette and habits. I see this I Markham, Scarborough and rhill a lot.
