Many Canadian drivers quickly got used to emptier roads since the start of the pandemic.
CAA asked over two thousand Canadians what their biggest concerns were when it comes to driving and other drivers.
The polls showed that other drivers running red lights was the number one thing that made them uneasy about being on the road. This was a three way tie between drunk and drug intoxicated drivers.
