It is about power and control. Too much power under the hood and too little self control.

Maybe you are one of those rare drivers who actually leave the recommended amount of following room between your vehicle and the one in front of you. Most people look at that and they think "Oh, there's a good space for me to get in!" instead of applying the same wisdom to their own driving. That's one of the major causes of accidents, excessive speed combined with not leaving enough following room to permit a safe braking distance during emergency situations.

They are cooped up in their "power space" - inside their car. In there, they feel safe and powerful, and do things that they'd never do in the grocery store or the movie line.
The attitude out on the roads nowadays is, "It's my road, and I don't care how badly I scare you or endanger your life." That's sad.
George Carlin, the American humorist, said it best: "People who drive slower than you do are idiots. People who drive faster than you do are maniacs."
Bottom line: the roads have become an uncivilized society rampant with road rage and distracted drivers (cell phones, food, makeup, etc) that are starting to kill us faster and faster.
