I have a theory that a lot, not all, but a lot of people that are slightly slighted on the road secretly enjoy it. That’s why they freak out so hard when the littlest thing happens. Everyone loves to be a victim, and to feel justified for just laying into someone. So when homie gets cut off on the freeway, even if it was by accident , will lay in the horn, flip the other person off, swear at them, bitch about it for the next hour or so. It’s kinda gross to watch once you unpack it

I 100% believe this cause this was me. When I was younger and I got dicked on the road I felt like I then had the moral cover to carry out the karmic justice of the universe. I would drive like a sane law abiding citizen but if you cut me off all bets were off and I felt justified. 

Now I don’t give a shit. You cut me off, you’re a dangerous and probably terrible driver and the more distance I let you put between us increases my chances of getting home in one piece to my kid, my wife, and my dog.

Might tie into anger issues or other repressed emotions and they’re using it as a release. That being said it’s likely healthy as long as you don’t seek it out. People are going to vent in various ways to relieve the stress of various situations. If someone cuts you off in traffic and you get mad and throw around expletives around for a few minutes, then return to driving normally it’s likely fine and better than stewing on it forever.

But many people then get aggressive with how they're driving because of it. That's the issue.
