Ok but it does seem like people drive way worse now than just a few years ago. I have theories though.

Theory 1: Existential dread. People are so beat down by climate, endless war, failing economy, and more that they’ve gone completely insane.

Theory 2: Long covid brain.

Theory 3: Trump and other authoritarian world leaders/parties/orgs has validated unmitigated rage and contempt towards almost anyone for almost any reason.

I think the number of people with little care for those outside their vehicle has increased. At least a chunk of it is due to the vehicle design - it's hard to be aggressive in a 1970s car, it's easy in how separate you are, how isolated from people outside, in an SUV
