I bet it is their parents car they 'borrowed'. Either that or they are dealers.
Really?
I'd bet they're actually ex-communicated Yakuza gang members, here in Calgary to find their boss' missing daughter and return her to safety, hopefully winning his favour in order to die honourably by way of Harakiri. They were tailing the suspected kidnapper on Deerfoot when this lady cut them off. Thinking she was an accomplice of the kidnapper, they tailed her until she stopped in order to interrogate her.

lol are you sure they aren't underground organ dealers looking for kidneys?
I've had a woman act this aggressively towards me while driving a few years ago. I had done the same thing that this woman supposedly did, changed lanes when it would have been absolutely safe to do so and didn't see that the car was a ways behind me coming up at a high rate of speed. So I cut her off, and then she tried to run me off the road after. Our vehicles never made contact or anything. We were on Blackfoot and after trying to run me off the road, she actually got in front of me, turned her car sideways and stopped in the middle of the road so she could get out and scream at my boyfriend and I. She punched our car several times with her bare fist, hurt her fist and got even more enraged and tried getting in our car. It was the craziest thing that's ever happened to me, over almost nothing. So while there may be more to this story, people do actually snap like this for almost no reason.
It's incredibly bizarre how much rage can be produced by one person inadvertently causing another person to press their foot down an inch or two. For real, think about that for a second.

It really is bizarre. Gotta be something about cars, and what they do to people emotionally. If someone slows down or stops walking in a busy mall do you see someone behind them blurt out a swear, and then walk up beside them and yell and shake their fist?

I saw something similar happen a year or so ago. Two cars in front of me had a near miss merging onto Deerfoot from 16th Ave. Afterwards one of them pulled in front of the other and slammed on his brakes, then got out of his car (still in the merge lane), ran over to the other vehicle and started yelling and screaming. If I hadn't backed off when the near miss happened I probably would've plowed right into them. I couldn't believe someone could turn that stupid due to road rage.

I get pretty pissed at people in traffic so this is a topic I often think about when analyzing things I could do better in my life. Here is a video that made me laugh about the difference:
However, the more I have thought about it, I think a lot of the reasoning for me is that the stakes are so much higher in a car. In lots of these situations, someone else's poor driving decisions have the ability to seriously harm or even kill me. If someone walks in front of me on the sidewalk, there's not really much chance of me being impacted.
And don't get me wrong, not trying to justify people who do super crazy crap, just my thoughts on why people get more upset when driving.

No, they don't snap for no reason. There's a reason but usually it is the straw that broke the camel's back. People that freak out like this usually suppress their emotions until they can't then the rage is intoxicating so they go with it. A perceived slight, while only perceived, tends to become insurmountable for the emotionally unstable and they snap.
