MODERATORS
There is a 1% of motorists who I feel did not meaningfully exist before like the early 2000s. They have some kind of mass psychosis. I have been intentionally hit, run off the road, had things thrown at me, from motorists who take it as a personal insult that I am using the same road as them. There is a tribe who feel a militant entitlement and are quite willing to use violence to enforce what they see as their natural right over vulnerable road users. It's fucking insane. This did not happen when I was a kid, and I rarely have an excursion today without someone at least hanging out their car window and heckling me.
