Who are those passive aggressive drivers?

It's much more likely that they're texting or looking at / being distracted by some damn device or another.
I see it so often. Texting, et al while driving should carry the same penalties as drinking and driving!

I've had customers who are in their 30s or 40s and the car they are driving is the first car they've ever owned! Often times they have no clue how to work even the most basic controls.

Totally agree with this. I am an Indian guy who USED to live in the bay area. While I did regular driving while I got closer to 30, most of my commutes(biker to work) in the bay involved having a kid or two in the back seat and/or needed short usage of the freeway(3-5 exits) at best so I either stuck to the exit lane or the lane to its left. Yup, when I was in a real hurry, I'd of course take the carpool lane and gun it home. I did make it a point of checking out safe driving tips each year just to be safe - no one wants to be in a crash with such small kids. One of the worst roads I feard driving on was towards N Mathilda in the evenings - tons of tech employees merging from left(Yahoo) and right(Moffett Towers) - you never know who will cut into your lane without using turn signs.

Now I expect to be accused of "kissing white ass"
