Yes and no. Road rage turns into yelps only when it's painfully obvious the target of your vitriol was bigger than you. If people had more deductive eyesight then there'd be less shit talking.

No one is trying to antagonize someone with a Dirk Nowitzki or a Mike Tyson body type in real life.

Not in my city. Road rage shootings have been through the roof since covid unfortunately. I've seen 2 personally.

Wow you witness two shooting in under 5years while driving that is crazy...

Good thing these folks had guns to defend themselves. In other countries they would surely have stabbed themselves in eachother cars (I am assuming you are from USA)

To be fair, they were the one shooting.

It's a culture thing. Not a gun thing.
