Plural you (“y’all”, basically) used to be “i”, but because of an archaic inflection rule, there were often an “n” at the end of a word before “i” (like, “när kommen i?”; “when are y’all coming?”). Because of this, “i” eventually turned into “ni” since the n of the previous word merged with i.
Might just be that those three cars have legitimate reasons to be driving. Like, it could be a carpenter’s or electrician’s van on the way to a job site in the city.
