People have been driving like they have no sense nowadays speeding, racing, running lights, it’s crazy out here

@niceness89 I agree, ever since NYC re-opened people forget how to drive. I mean, quarantine was rough, but I still don’t understand the recklessness.

2nd video is good, has sound, steady visuals and you can tell whats going on at the scene. Lousy recorders should learn from this person.
