As we continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the things that has returned to normal is the number of cars on the road. During the pandemic, there were fewer cars on the road and many drivers often drove faster because of the decrease in traffic. Unfortunately, some drivers became accustomed to driving faster in decreased traffic, and what we are seeing now is an increase in not only the number of accidents, but in their severity, as well.
