Is it an isolated event or does it have any correlation with anything else?

    I dunno. I lost my shit on someone just today who literally pulled into my lane (coming toward me) to skip the line to turn. Literally just pulled out in front of me from an oncoming lane and kept coming until I stopped and leaned on the horn flashing my lights. There was nowhere for me to go. This type of thing has killed people in the past. Especially in poor visibility. There was literally no reason to do what this person did and I hadn’t done anything wrong. There was no where for me to pull off to even avoid the collision if this person kept coming.

    Perhaps you’re correct about some road ragers, but generally I don’t get angry until something gets dangerous for me because someone else is being unreasonable and potentially harmful.

    Everyone thinks they’re the best driver on the road. That’s statistically proven. But generally people who drive more often or are seasoned drivers become complacent over time. Meaning almost no one is as good a driver as they think. Entitlement/ego, and distracted driving also play a big role and I’m way more likely to believe most road rage incidents are actually two egos coming to a head after both people are at fault than just one reckless driver vs someone else who wasn’t in any way in the wrong.
