I’ve had drivers honk at me for crossing the street after narrowly swiping me on a fast right turn… when I had the crossing signal. Drivers are definitely assholes towards pedestrians, and this attitude has prevailed even more so after the pandemic, when people seem to have lost their cooperation skills.
I’ve had the same experience with crossing signals as a pedestrian. And pedestrians crossing dangerously illegally yell at me for driving normally. You can think what you like, but if your assertion were true, pedestrian deaths would be much higher. I don’t think it has anything to do with the pandemic; I’d bet it’s more attributed to tech. But again, think what you like.
