The number one thing people do on the road that drives me bonkers is that the moment they get behind the wheel, the road becomes a battlefield where everyone else is the enemy. EVERYONE does this. Even nice people.
Somehow we've dehumanized things to the point where other people are just annoyances and obstacles to be avoided or conquered. There is no empathy or consideration for other people. Half the rageful posts in this thread showcase what I mean.
Nothing gets me more riled up either as a driver or as a pedestrian then witnessing acts of blatant disregard for the safety of others. There is ZERO excuse for putting other people at risk. This should be the one rule that doesn't get broken, and it shouldn't have to be made into a law.
