I'm not sure some of those "rude" drivers are actually rude. It may be more of a perception difficulty as people age. Hubby and I have found that so many times, people pull out onto a main road waaaaay too close to us as we are driving the speed limit or at most, 5 MPH over the speed limit. These people have no idea that the car they pulled out in front of is a MOVING vehicle and have no clue of the closure rate. We see this problem most often when driving among the elderly.
