I got a dashcam a couple years ago. On reviewing the footage, the most common cause of road rage directed at me is when I'm following someone in a long train of cars with no opportunity to pass, waiting for a gap that could be used to pass

The person behind me eventually loses their mind and road rages, I suspect because I'm not tailgating the person in front of me

I wonder what mental model these road ragers have about traffic. Maybe they think tailgating causes traffic to move faster?
