Advantages: can avoid confrontation
Disadvantages: can be frightening if it happens to you
In my opinion there is no such thing as Road Rage. Say for example a car pulls out on you, you will probably just beep your horn to let them know what they have done, or maybe stick two fingers up at them, 99% of the time both parties will drive off and forget about the incident. Apparently psychologists studying the behaviour of psychopaths believe that it only takes one incident to trigger them off, say for example a psychopath pulled out of you and you had to brake sharply. You may be quite annoyed and react by giving him two fingers, this is all it takes to set him or her off, you drive off thinking the incident is forgotten. But you find they are following you urging you to pull over, and when you do, most either seriously injure you, or worse they kill you. The chances of coming across someone like this is quite rare, but there are a few simple steps to take when driving. If someone pulls out on go, keep calm try not to beep your horn, and definitely don't give them two fingers. DO NOT make eye contact with the other party, this can be a mistake, and this gives the other party the opportunity to threaten you. And of course if you caused to incident follow the same procedure. So in my opinion there is no such thing as road rage, people just get annoyed, but they don't get into a rage, only psychopaths do this.
