Road Rage!

A major problem isn't it? I reckon it's got something to do with the "Me Group of People" They used to call it the "Me Generation" but I think that it's broader than a particular generation or age group.

If you make a bit of a mistake, maybe indicate a bit late etc. then this type of person thinks it is an attack on them personally and feel the need to retaliate.

Feeling your wallet?
Who carries cash these days?

Ice is also an issue, causing people to seriously over react to even the slightest thing.

Same 13 years ago by the looks :)

For some time now I have refrained from blowing the horn, flashing lights or making gestures at offending motorists. It so easily may be someone up to the eyeballs in drugs, who will climb out at the next set of traffic lights with a tyre lever in his (or even her) hand.

I remember a few years back I was driving home from work after a night shift. I must have offended a young fella in some way and as I pulled into a servo on the way home for some fuel, this young fella pulled up beside me, started yelling and whacking the window.

Anyhow , I just opened the door and stepped out. You should have seen the look on his face when he saw the Police Rescue Squad emblems on my white overalls!

I just smiled at him and he slunk away!

I watched these 2 clowns, Brighton la-sands, 6 lanes of traffic, peak hour, 1 was running away, 1 was chasing, in and out of lanes, then it became cross the medium strip and head the other way....never seen anything like it since...scary.

YouTube dashcam videos has turned into a hobby for me in the past couple of years or so, great entertainment . . . or from a different aspect an incredible scary look at what drivers in some countries are like !!
Yes, I have noticed Australian drivers are now starting to do more things that were more commonly seen in videos from Russia, Poland, and not quite as simply inept as the Chinese drivers, yeah, pretty bad behaviour.

This includes the road rage elements, along with aggressive driving, impatience, and downright stupidity.
Ice users are no doubt dangerous in the extreme, that drug affects users in ways much more than others.
Very aggressive, violent.

Hopefully you can all avoid these types of situations, but the way society is going it's probably just a matter of time, and good (or bad) luck, how often or whether you encounter them or not.
