It’s amazing how much a difference there was in road manners when I was driving a mustang vs. a rav4. It was quite literally stress free, suddenly there were no jackasses on the road.
Oh, same. We have multiple vehicles and I only experience this when driving the Fiesta. It’s almost like people are mad that you have chosen a vehicle based on logic and reasoning over id.
Also, in my town at least, this phenomenon seems to have gotten perceptibly worse over the past 6-8 years. People are just angrier all the time in general I think.
I am the guy that passed you doing 75 on our beltway that’s 55 (singing I just can’t drive… 55!) 😉
I mentioned this because lately, I’ve almost been mowed over a few times, and I usually drive right, until I can’t. I don’t change lanes rapidly or in multiples, no texting, but I’ve been passed by people changing multiple lanes and shoulders, always on phones, etc.
People are angrier
Dude, I don’t disagree. Maybe they feel too busy, hate RTO, don’t know.

It’s very aggressive lately.
I compare my daily commute to the chariot races in Ben Hur. It absolutely wasn’t this way pre COVID.
