Sure, they can get pretty nasty - I recall seeing a brief video clip on the local news within the past week or so where a disabled vehicle's right front wheel was turned 90 degrees - however, its IMO counterproductive to try to have a "who is worse?" contest, as there certainly are nightmares that crop up everywhere in the world.

That's pretty much why I characterized this as a _change_ in consumer behavior being the metric for concern, as this is locally self-normalized for whatever those local conditions are.
