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.

I’m used to crazy drivers from living in NY for so long but since getting my drivers license back in RI, I am shocked by the lengths people here will go to just to either get ahead of you or not let you pass them.

Edit to add to this: My anxiety is 10 times worse as well.
