Good news for people needing and organ donation, I suppose. Just don't take anyone else out while you do this.

Yup. Due to covid even the OP's mom has reported people getting to "their destination" at record speed.

Something similar happened with traffic in Chicago a couple months ago or so. Far fewer cars on the road, but increase in serious accidents from people presumably really whipping it around when they have the chance.
