A lot more, sure, but many industries are going to permanently stay remote or hybrid model, so I doubt we will ever have as many driving in USA again as we did (especially with our pending population decline due to a sub-2.1 birth ratio).

Regarding bad driving, I'd say part of the blame is lack of driving lately, for sure, but I'd say the bigger problem is police shortages. If people know they won't get pulled over, or that it's less likely, they are a lot more inclined to do stupid, illegal, and unsafe things. The police shortages won't go away anytime soon since the profession as a whole continues to get blamed for things individual officers do. Who wants that kind of hate in their life? The places hating on police the most (larger cities) also probably see the most accidents and crazy drivers due to their population size. Sadly, this problem isn't getting resolved soon.

Definitely far fewer commuters here in NY. A friend of mine is a train engineer and the rush hours during the week haven't returned to pre-pandemic levels. However, on the weekends the number is back up with people travelling to NYC. 

Isnt NY still under some sort of lockdown by vaccine mandate? I'm sure thats holding you guys back a bit.
