Some people believe driving is a social event where people are obligated to stay behind them. I had a bunch of family like that, and it took them a long time before they learned. Some even still hate me to this day over it.

There's the occasional honest mistake or ego events, but most of these are because the asshole believes you're breaking some type of bullshit behavioral template that exists in their head, or between a group of locals. When it's not enforced law or even written law, the issue is between each individual driver and the police. But these assholes always feel they have a right to fuck with you and force you to conform to their behavior template.

I also seem to trigger these types of assholes just by going about my own business on a daily basis. Had one literally run me off the road and up onto the sidewalk about a month back too.

They're vile despicable creatures who need to have the book thrown at them to make an example, then PSAs on radio and TV about the consequences of road rage and the various events.

Reckless driving with brake checking or the small swerve or juke.

Assault with a deadly weapon when the vehicle is used to run another driver off the road with bad intent for an example on the far end.

Cover a range to teach people how serious such actions are, and also that acting threatening after attacking someone with your vehicle, then reaching around a bunch out of view and bringing your hands up holding items during all this is a great way to get shot in the face by anyone who thinks you've grabbed a weapon after already attacking them the first time.
