    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.
