Yes, they also seem to think the rules of the road don’t apply to them

It seems to me that most people are pleasant, kind and considerate when they are feeling ok and not under pressure, whether internally generated (I have to be faster than them) or external (noisy neighbours, etc,).
It would be great if we could preserve some of the current civility, without the illness and loss, of course.
I like the point about people doing vital jobs finally getting some recognition, too.

Ah, I see. It's now a "slag off everyone that doesn't conform and drive the same type of vehicle as you" thread.

I used to do a summer job for an ironmongery/garden shop. I used to deliver hand lawnmowers, tools and bags of compost … In a Mini Traveller.
Even if I'd tried to drive it recklessly I don't think it would have responded.

It's very noticeable how amicable people are being. I had a flat bed truck follow me for about 15-20 seconds last night even though he could have easily gone around. I stuck my thumb up and he stuck his arm out the window and waved whilst flashing the hazards. The car behind waited the same, so I stuck my thumb up. Both passenger and driver stuck their arm out of the window and waved. Almost everyone passed me on the opposite side of the road.
Then there are those that see lower traffic levels as the roads are effectively a race track. Had a couple go past me doing at least double the speed limit in built up areas.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Online companies are not doing business right now so there isn't as much work for the delivery drivers so they can take their time.
And as there is less traffic they don't have to drive like madmen to get from 1 place to another.
Plus less traffic means they would stickout like a sore thumb especially where police are concerned so they have to drive sort of reasonably, well as reasonably as WVM can.
