Are you seeing an increase of "Road Rage?"

More stupidity than rage. Mostly idiots from other countries. Bring on the deportations now. 
No, I see road rage all the time. It amazes me how people will go out of their way to get in front of me. Here in Lake County, people often drive slower than the speed limit, and they get slower as they get closer to where they live. I can't make that up, just observe it.
The Bay Area is very bad, people will get shot, and then they will blame guns.

I drive 300-500miles a week. I drive a van and everyone feels it necessary to cut me off. Lots of speeders and lots of people who drive as though they are the traffic police. And so many on their phones. And then there IS Road Rage.
Are we far behind, Oh hell no....we're right up front.

Ban all cell phones. Live was better all-around before them. There was plenty of pay phones before. 
I don't want them to take my cell phone, I want to use it for navigation. There are legitimate cases where a cell phone can be used and not cause a distraction, the blue tooth allows it to connect to CarPlay, transparently.Ban all cell phones. Live was better all-around before them. There was plenty of pay phones before.
The one thing I would like to be easier is how the audio is integrated so we don't have to use our hands at all. As it is, I think it is dangerous to change the settings or add stops, in all cases. Sometimes the Internet is not available, and one needs to download the map when they do have a connection...it's complicated.
EDIT: I hate to say, HooDoo, but this reminded me that Apple is holding me hostage because Linux doesn't handle iTunes and I need iTunes to transfer all of my music. Being able to listen to music on my phone in the truck is huge for me. I'm heading to Santa Rosa to have my iTune purchases transferred to my new iPhone. FWIW, I'm setting up my route on my phone before I leave. Looks like we're going over 175 to Santa Rosa, and back up 29 on the way home...so I can stop for Chinese food in Middletown...

With all respect. I must agree to disagree on this issue. I can operate a radio or CD player and read a map.

Oh, I can do that and did it for years reading the Thomas guides...but those days are gone for me, and I'll keep my phone. The phone is way better for me.With all respect. I must agree to disagree on this issue. I can operate a radio or CD player and read a map.
I can't remember not having a Thomas guide in any of my cars, going back to the first one, until the smart phone came into existence.

I will 2nd the Bay Area being the worst and I lived in LA for 8 years .
Bicyclists cause me the most road rage. My road is the highest hill climb in the county. 3 miles to my house , 1500 ft climb. They are usually coughing up a lung as they continue up the road past my house.
Coming down, they just fly. That wouldn’t be so bad but some sections are 1 lane only. Dashcam is my friend.

I think it might be possible that L.A. is more infringing. The political bias with the Mayors in both cities is pretty bad.
We need a change! Today, the 9th district listens to Duncan. What we really need at this point is for the DOJ/SCOTUS to crack down on CA for poor ruling in regard to following Bruen. The $64k question is when will the 9th get slapped upside the head for what they've been doing. Duncan is like a dozen years old.

I was a driver delivering vehicles for Enterprise and dealerships for 8 years in So Cal. Yeah, there's idiot drivers everywhere but really not that often in an 8 to10-hour day. You get used to the aggressive types. I let them go and harass someone else.
I figure they have terrible driving records and pay high insurance rates. Sometimes I'd play games and not let them in when they wanted to cut across my bow on the passenger side but that's normal for many drivers. Just don't let them make YOU angry and try not to flip them off.
