A few years ago, I created a thread about ever witnessing a car accident: http://imcdb.opencommunity.be/forum_topic-7719-68523-Ever_seen_a_car_accident_occur.html#p68523 and now I'm creating a new one about road rage. The main reason for this is because yesterday when I was driving to work in the morning, I was involved in a minor incident where a driver road raged at me and it was the second one I have been involved in my life. So basically what happened was while I was driving in my Honda Civic, a driver to my right, who was also driving a Civic but a dark red one, suddenly cut in very narrowly in front of me and was mere inches from side swiping my car. I had to slam on my brakes and then laid my horn at the driver. After that, I changed lanes and then passed by the driver as I threw my hands up in disgust and mouthed what the hell at him. I could clearly tell from the middle aged driver's expression that he wasn't happy at all by my sign of protest. So a few traffic light intersections later, it seemed the whole event was going to pass by without incident until I noticed in my rear view mirrors that the red Civic was suddenly speeding up to catch up to me and he pulled by to the side by my right. He already had his window rolled down and could hear him yelling at me while he was angrily pointing with his finger. I then rolled down the front passenger window and heard him yelling in either a New Yorker or Jersey accent, "PULL OVER TO THE SIDE SO I CAN BREAK YOUR FUCKING NOSE, ASSHOLE!"
I then yelled back to him saying "The reason why I honked at you was because you cut me off and you nearly hit me! Check your goddamn blind spot next time!"
The driver then suddenly pulled to the far right lane and it seemed that he was now trying to avoid me as much as possible, I did the same pulling to far left of the four lane road. Fortunately shortly after that, the driver kept heading straight east while I pulled off north at an intersection. I was a bit shaken up by the incident as my adrenaline was pumping and my heart was beating rapidly, but sighed with relief that the incident didn't escalate any further and was glad that the driver didn't continue to follow me and try to live up to his threats of kicking my ass.
Although it was my second rage incident, it was the first time I had a driver yell threats at me. The first incident I was involved in which was 3 years ago when a similar type of cut off occurred but instead that driver retaliated by brake checking me a few times after I honked at him. After the brake checking, the driver then quickly pulled off to the left at an intersection, and as he did, I rolled down my window, gave him the finger, and then sped off.

Just as a word of advice, I don't really condone or recommend my actions in either incidents and the best thing to do is avoid any confrontations as possibles, because I know there are some crazies out there who will genuinely try to get violent at you and possibly even go as far as pulling out and using a weapon.

So essentially, no matter how much a driver can tick you off when they doing something stupid in front of you while driving, it's usually beset to keep calm and not lose your temper because the other driver may retaliate back by reacting in a worse way.
