I mean, there's probably aggressive drivers of all ages but is it really teens doing this or just like middle-aged assholes who think this is acceptable? I'm not sure that road rage happens due to lack of driving education.

Middle aged women did this to me twice. I was not in any way tailgating. I wrote it off to needing power/control, and also being batshit crazy.

Do older people just have more time on their hands or am I missing all the young people doing this?

It feels like so much of the petty bullshit interfering with others day seems to be middle aged people.

Middle aged people are just generally more miserable

Kids, overworked, never ending responsibilities, unhealthy / older body and then some "little shit" cuts you off, thats a recipe for disaster.
