I have indeed suffered when I was younger , I have also been a victim. Cars are faster than they used to be and people are more in a hurry now than they used to be.
I've never witnessed a full road rage incident, in the sense of it descending to violence or deliberate vandalism, but I have inevitably witnessed much brake checking, finger gesturing and similar on British roads in particular over the years.
I don't see as much brake checking as I thought I would on the ring roads around Paris. It seems to be quite rare, surprising for Latin drivers... People tend to drive aggressively anyhow so, maybe, they are expecting aggressive driving behaviour. Quite often see drivers racing down the inside and cutting into narrow spaces - quite a few very narrow misses!
We don't have a "joined up transport system". The current system seems to be, "stuff the drivers". Those in cities and large towns want us to cycle or use public transport everywhere. They forget that public transport is rare to non-existent in rural areas and cycling, in some areas, is for professional athletes only.

There is far too much anger on the roads these days. The roads around my part of the world ruined due to cycle lanes so you not alone.
