Road Rage in WA

I’ve noticed a big increase in road rage in the last year or two. Anyone else have the same observations? I drive all over the 3 main counties, Pierce, King and Snohomish. I’ve literally seen people come to fish fights, screaming matches, blaring their horns and making lewd and rude gestures. I have a perfect driving record and part of that is from avoiding risky behavior. Yet, here you will get people honking and road raging at you for going the speed limit, stopping at a stop sign, refusing to tail gate, giving pedestrians and cyclists proper space and follow signage. The things that trigger people the most are left turn yields and no turn on reds. I’ll still get folks blaring their horn at me when it is clearly not safe or allowed per the signage to go. What gives? I’ve had people follow me at times which is very scary. I just go to a crowded area or keep driving till they are gone. People have truly lost it. I just ignore them but it is scary. I’ve lived and drive in numerous states and the last time it was this bad was during the pandemic post lockdown.
