Hopefully that person is okay! I drive every day and there are alot of rude, belligerent, non-courteous, and speeding drivers.

It is not against the law to be rude or dis courtous while driving. However it is the polite thing to do. Just as no one should expect to have traffic move over so they can merge as the merging traffic is supposed to yeild in the first place. People who are left lane bandits are just as guilty of breaking traffic laws as those who are speeding since the law states slower traffic to the right. Perphaps if you notice the majority of drivers are being rude and mean, you might want to ensure that it isnt your behavior behind the wheel that is making them act in such a manor. I normally find most drivers a bit distracted not so much with phones but make up hair food kids ect. A good drive is constantly aware of not just controling the vehicial they are controling but of all other vehicials around them as well. Something to think about.

This isn’t an issue. We all know based on recent events that as long as you have money and leave the scene of the crime, you won’t get in trouble for it. It will just keep getting swept under the rug until they think it’s forgotten about.
