We've got:
peak oil
artificially low fuel prices will end soon
criminality is on the rise
much of the world is turning to wasteland
flooded, desertified or otherwise baren
drivers would rather hurt somebody than lose their right to drive anywhere
most people can hardly afford to pay rent
living on the road/street/off-grid (in your car) is an easier option
the US government's oil wars are like Mad Max on steroids
Just add a bit more global warming and away we go.
