Someone cutting someone else off.

Someone backing out of a parking lot, not looking in either direction while doing so, almost hitting someone who has the right-of-way.

Some have this attitude of "My car's/ego/attitude's bigger than yours so I'll -
a. cut you off
b. cut you off, then slow up and hit my brakes
c. one, two or all of the above.

You're driving behind someone who's slower, maybe for miles. The second you signal you're changing lanes, they decide to pull out and jump ahead of you-and they continue to drive slow.

You're in the left lane of a two-laner. Someone in the right lane ahead of you is behind a truck, has been for miles. Minute you're almost near their left bumper, they decide to not signal, pull out in front of you-and slow down.

You're on the acceleration lane of a highway. You naturally yield to traffic and you can see for a distance that some are in the left lane. You barely get on the highway, to the posted speed, when someone in the left lane suddenly decides to speed up, cut you off, get in front of you and not even get off at the next exit.

You're on a road that for a short while changes to two, then back to one lane (in one direction). While you're on the two-laner that's really a merge lane, some impatient idiot from 2 cars back zooms past both, and tries to squeeze inbetween you and the car in front of you. Doesn't happen because I saw him/her from way back zooming and I closed up ranks.

One of the major factors is the ever-growing number of people driving on the road.

In the United States today, 180 million automobile drivers share a road system that has not been built to handle this amount of traffic.

As a result, drivers increasingly deal with congestion and the frustrations that come with it.

The high traffic volume means that drivers must constantly adapt their own driving to the sometimes erratic driving styles of others.

Drivers must keep persistent look-out for random last minute lane changes, slow downs, and speed ups.

This type of vigilance can create extremely stressful driving conditions.

Other frustrations that accompany congestion include wasting time in traffic, defending against aggressive driving, and dealing with periodic hostile exchanges between drivers.

Because there are more drivers on the road, there is an increased number of daily exchanges between drivers.

An exchange can be completely friendly, such as when a car slows down to let another car into a lane.

However, there are times when such exchanges lead to acts of hostility between the drivers.

Another possible reason for road rage is the feeling of being endangered.

Behavioral reseachers consider anger a natural response to perceived threats to our own lives, or those of our family and friends.

Thus, when a person perceives another driver making a reckless driving maneuver that could potentially endanger lives, they may become angry.

The offended driver may not know how to release this anger other than by acting aggressive towards the offending driver.
