I don’t road rage as it’s never worth it - never. But, definitely get annoyed!
It’s the drivers who think being in the left lane is fine and sit at the speed limit. There’s 3 lanes to be had, you have zero business parking on the left side and frustrating everyone else when you can easily be ‘in your lane’ with your like lol. Those are the drivers who cause the most issues as they are completely unaware to their surroundings. Just see a road with multiple lanes and pick the far left and plug traffic up. There’s a speed limit yes, but weird enough it’s typically the minimum that the right/middle lanes will drive at, or just under. Left lane is for passing, not Sunday cruise lane. That’s where the frustrations build for drivers, and you’ll see people done with tolerating it and passing on the right side (middle lane of Deerfoot, etc.) which now causes more traffic problems that can compound quickly.
I’m not one of those who pass on the right, but have been driving enough years now to see it regularly and recognize the reasoning behind it.
The other is too much ‘I’ in society where others don’t matter. Which you see in those passing fast, and in those parking their butts on the left side. Both are selfish, ignorant. The human element is too far removed in driving. All you see is vehicles, rarely the person behind the vehicle.
A good example is one fellow drives a ford beater, another drives a Lambo. They both get out at their destination and outside / apart from their vehicles you wouldn’t know who is who. No one is more human than the other / more important or less. Everyone ‘looks’ the same. It brings humanity back into life. Driving completely removes the human element and all you ‘see’ is a certain vehicle being an idiot - whichever your definition of idiot is: drives too fast, ignorant; drives to slow, ignorant etc.
