I just commented on this to my wife yesterday only I have the opposite impression. We had to go out and although there were far fewer cars on the road the ones that were seemed to be almost exclusively driving like morons. I came up behind four different cars that were traveling at 20mph below the speed limit (This can be as dangerous as going 20 over), Saw two drive straight through red lights (The light didn't change as they got to it but had been red for several seconds), people suddenly changed lanes for no apparent reason, they would come to a full stop to make right hand turns into driveways, all in all just be totally unpredictable. Yes these things happen all the time but it was so very much worse than normal.
I did notice that many of them were old and the cars were those 15 year + but still in perfect condition types that indicate they don't drive much at the best of times.
