I drive what I consider to be normal. I stay in the right lane, never speed more than 5 or so over,
That is downright un-American to drive like that.

Just be the fastest vehicle around and no one can cut you off - problem solved :)

In my experience, the only consistent aggressive driving is found on the interstate.
^^^ this!

I see easygoing youngsters, affable grandpas and sweet moms turn into total road ragers the moment they get on the freeway...!

I have seen soccer moms and soccer dads with kids still in child seats do stuff at 80 MPH thatā€™d make Jason Bourne blush.

Honestly, I think this thread is nothing but a crock of shit and over active imagination. Seeing a shrink might be a good idea.

If you live in rural America Its just not a thing. Large cities are, can be, battlefields.

Drive over into East St Louis one evening, preferably a hot one, and see how you feel after that.

I drive both a JL and a Toyota RAV4. I do seem to get more drivers cutting me off in the Jeep. Iā€™m guessing itā€™s because they think Jeeps are slow?

On the other hand, Iā€™ve *never* had anyone wave to my RAV4.

Recommend a bumper?
Any steel bumper that's made for a winch will hold up to probably anything on the road, unless it's some Q-Tip driving an old school Buick.

You could use a piece of angle iron bolted to the frame rail. That's what I had on my TJ, and it was as good as any stubby bumper you can buy.

This has been happening to me around southern Ontario but I had just figured itā€™s because of covid. Since covid started in 2020 ā€œstunt drivingā€ around southern Ontario at one point had been up an estimated 600%

I live in Southern California, so we are surrounded by bad drivers on a regular basis. Getting cut off is a normal part of my day regardless of the vehicle I happen to drive. :facepalm:

Every. Single. Time. I drive down Beach Blvd, I see somebody driving a lifted pickup, weaving through traffic at 70mph like as if they were driving a BMW M3.

Anecdotally, my experience has been that jerk drivers are not personal. They just see all the other cars on the roads as obstacles. They tailgate me, then the person in front of me, then the person in front of them. They cut me off, then they cut someone else off.

I drive a Sprinter - itā€™s the worst. People do the dumbest, most desperate shit to get in front of me, then slow down and get in my way. I generally drive at or over the speed limit, often as fast as that thing will go, and it does do fine at keeping up until the 82 mph speed limiter - but it doesnā€™t matter - people see that thing and react - they NEED to get themselves in front of it.

Literally everyone around LA drives like that. And thatā€™s the second defense of ā€œCalifornians arenā€™t from Californiaā€ in this thread lol. Itā€™s like communists that think communism hasnā€™t been tried before.
big cities round the world have aggressive drivers.. The OP is taking about a step beyond that. LA and Bay area are packed.. you go north of it and its pretty chill.

Dang. I live in Knoxville and it's a terrible place to drive, surprisingly. I've driven in most major US cities and I'd rank it top 5 worst driver locations. It's weird. Weird demographics.
Yep everytime i drive thru tn lots of idiot drivers
