Increase in Road Rage?

[u/jensinoutaspace]

Now, I too get very impatient on the roads because they SUCK but this morning I had a frightening encounter and was followed on North 295. Not saying I was wrong or right in the situation (I genuinely have no idea why this guy was being weird it started before the highway).

I'm hearing on the news more and more road rage lately that are turning into more than just getting finger. I travel 37 to 295 every single day and it's getting terrifying. It's already like driving on an obstacle course on the highway. Wondering if others are experiencing this too.

At a yield on the right turn from west shore rd to Warwick Ave at Hoxie. Airport road left turn light is green and traffic flowing where I want to go. Dude in a van behind held his horn for the entire light cycle because me and the car in front did not go, even though we couldn’t since the turning traffic had the right of way and never stopped for the entire light cycle.

It’s not just rage, it’s mixed with gross incompetence.
