I think it's just sheer laziness and lack of consideration for other drivers.

Yep, it's the absolute worst at night/early morning.

Drivers in San Diego are a lot worse now than few years ago. Lack of common sense and courtesy and ability to use turn signals is bad.

I have more and more incidents, but this can't just be me with bad luck. Like 2 days, I was leaving the Mission Valley mall area, and that area is always jammed with traffic, I was making a right turn out of the parking lot and this impatient idiot decides to go around me inside the intersection because I waited for the cars to stop turning into the lane before I tried to get in.

I was never a road rage person, but people are starting to get on my nerves these days. Maybe I'm just having bad luck...And no I'm not a ****ty driver. I keep running into people that do dumb **** while they drive.
Been going on since the 50's when freeways were built. Below is my favorite documentary on it.......

FYI, if involved in a road rage incident the first person out of their car is at fault. Even better if you can capture them in a pic from the inside of your car. "He honked at me" is not an excuse.

It is very unsafe when drivers don't get up to freeway speed on a onramp. I've been stuck behind drivers going 45-50 mph which prevents me from merging safely into oncoming traffic.

This is a key point for all of us to remember. LEO wants to arrest anyone. So get on the I phone camera and instragram it.

Came off the hill last night and I'm doing 70 in a 70. I'm being passed like I'm parked but that's fine the beast gets 20 mpg at 2000 rpm. Car behind me slowly keeps getting closer, I'm guessing 73 mph and then they clamp on (figure of speech) to my trailer hitch. After about a mile I say to my buddy, "How slow will this idiot go before they pass me?" I mean, I could not even see their headlights they were so close. From the air it had to look like I was towing a car.

I slowly crept down to 50 over about another mile as there was no other real traffic out. FIFTY and this moron is still riding my bumper but won't pass. After we start up a hill I roll coal on the idiot and never saw them again because I passed a car. Figuring this person wanted to speed but just refused to pass anyone.
