cyclists and peds have rage too. it’s not exclusive to drivers. it’s just that there are more drivers so they are more statistically significant.
the issue is people being entitled and full of rage at random strangers, not the method by which they transit.
i live in a city where i can drive, bike, walk, or take the subway to work. i have been harassed and had crazy irrational folks of any transit method come at me in screaming rages because of my ‘offense’ at them. and they never see themselves as the problem. it was me, because I made them angry for existing in a moment and space in time which they did not think I should have existed and it was VERY UPSETTING for them. plus I was like ‘slowing them down’ or ‘in their way’ or somesuch.
you are different. you are bad. you are a threat.
it’s that simple and ape-brained.
they also have a irrational disregard and hatred of each other, often based on vehicle make and model.
or just the fact you are in front of them and therefore in their way and you are slowing them down.
All our problems in the world stems from our unevolved ape brain. And unfortunately, most people don’t realise it.
most folks embrace it.
I sometimes experience that with reckless drivers but I have never been one to have road rage.

Sounds like textbook narcissism
it’s not. it’s just being a douchebag.
