The economy is driving us...?
Is it my imagination, or are people driving more agressively these days?
Recently, I was headed east on the 210, near the Orange Grove exit, and a guy in a truck was pursuing another SUV, weaving through traffic in the chase.
It was clear, this driver was angry.
He ended up throwing something at the other SUV -- some kind of bottle.
But every day, it seems, somebody is driving way to fast. But it also seems like an angry fast -- whether it's in front or behind me.
Maybe I'm just naive. Perhaps it's because I don't have the fastest car, so everything seems fast.
But my theory goes to the economy.
I hope I'm wrong. Because recent reports suggest the economy isn't getting any better.
