Quite often the rage is triggered by something entirely different than driving. I never understood sudden anger over nothing, but have experienced it in others quite often. The videos are very good.
I always try to remember one thing while driving: "speed will not kill you, only a sudden stop." I try to keep my distance from all other cars, avoiding close contact that invariably brings on anger of one sort or another.
Be safe.
