There was a case where two drivers were arguing in the middle of the road. One was blaming the other for a near - miss. As they were shouting, a stray dog came and stole a sandwich from one of the drivers who had left it on his car hood. They both forgot about their argument and started chasing the dog. It was hilarious. The whole situation just defused the road rage. And it was quite a sight to see these two angry men running after a dog.

There was a case where a motorcyclist got into an argument with a car driver over a minor incident like not giving enough space while passing.

A friend of mine was driving and another driver cut him off. Instead of getting angry, my friend started singing really loudly, 'You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!' at the other car. The other driver looked so confused and then just sped away. It was quite the comical sight.
One time, we were on a long road trip and my sister accidentally spilled her juice all over the backseat. But instead of getting mad, we made a game out of it. We used napkins to create 'islands' in the puddle of juice and pretended our toy cars were driving through a flooded city. It was so much fun that we didn't even care about the mess.
There was a story where two cyclists got into a 'road rage' situation. One cyclist was yelling at the other for not following the cycling rules.

Well, once I saw a guy at the gym who was clearly on some sort of steroid. He got really mad because someone took 'his' bench. He started yelling and stomping around like a child. It was both scary and hilarious at the same time.
One common element is aggressive driving like tailgating. For example, a driver who is angry might follow another vehicle too closely, which is very dangerous. Another is the use of offensive language. Often, angry drivers will shout and curse at each other. Also, physical threats are common. Drivers may threaten to harm each other, either by hitting or causing damage to the other's vehicle.
Mistakes on the road can also lead to road rage. For instance, if a driver makes a wrong turn and suddenly cuts in front of someone else, the other driver might become enraged. Sometimes, it's not even a big mistake but the stress of driving and the fear of an accident can make people overreact. Also, some people just have short tempers in general and the slightest thing on the road can set them off into a fit of rage.
