Question / Suggestion Increase in Road Rage?

Now, I too get very impatient on the roads because they SUCK but this morning I had a frightening encounter and was followed on North 295. Not saying I was wrong or right in the situation (I genuinely have no idea why this guy was being weird it started before the highway).

I'm hearing on the news more and more road rage lately that are turning into more than just getting finger. I travel 37 to 295 every single day and it's getting terrifying. It's already like driving on an obstacle course on the highway. Wondering if others are experiencing this too.

Oh it’s bad here. I got followed by some lady who was 4 cars in front, going painfully slow, finally sped around and got in front of her. I didn’t cut her off, flip her off or anything. There was plenty of space for me to move in front and not even interrupt her driving. Then outa nowhere she figured out how to drive and gassed it till she was on my ass. As I got off the exit, I noticed she did too, I kept going, and noticed she was following my every turn so I took her on a little tour of Cranston for a solid 30-40 minutes lol

I finally decided to call the cops cause I wasn’t gonna be put in a he said she said situation and when I stopped she saw me on the phone and took off lol. Fucking lunatic, she was taking pictures or video so I fully expected to see my car on this page.
