The 101 in the peninsula area has the opposite problem: people seem to be scared to get even close to the posted speed limit. You can see the front line of a bunch of cars all blocking everyone behind them regularly for no apparent reason. Other than stupidity and incompetence that is.

In my area I noticed that speed early in the pandemic was borderline excessive at times. Now it seems it's mostly back to normal here. Most the issue I'm seeing are around bad judgement or distracted driving.
And even when I give in and drive at these uncomfortably high speeds I’m constantly tailgated, even in the slow lane.
