God complex drivers

I've noticed that the more I drive, the more irritated I become.
Is it "road rage?"

How can I become so pissed off from just driving on one lane? That can't be the reason, so what is it?

I was on my way home this morning from running an errand, and I made sure to keep myself calm while driving. I began to notice the way people drove around me (I am not one of "those" drivers who hold up the freeway). First, the guy behind me floored it just to make it in front of me. For what? To do the same speed without having to look at the back of my car? I figured it was because I keep a bit of a distance from the car ahead of me. Honestly, I see no reason behind his doing.

Next, I was making my way in my own lane and the guy next to me started to speed up. This is not the first time someone has done that. The guy didn't notice that he was starting to get pretty close to the car in front of him, almost crashing.

So it's not that I become irritated from driving, I just get pissed at how stupid most people around southern California drive.
