There is a different opinion on the subject. I can't recall where I read it, but here it is. Before smartphones became ubiquitous, road rage was a huge problem. Now, it is a lot less of a problem, as people are paying less attention to the road, and more to the phone. Take if for what it may, but, on a motorcycle, I'd much rather deal with careless / distracted driver than with an enraged one. If you're riding like you're invisible, anticipate people making idiotic moves, and leave yourself a way out, you will arrive home safe. On a bike, I'd much rather deal with traffic situation that's turning into a reading room, rather than a wild rodeo of people gone mad. YMMV.
