I believe I've posted this here somewhere else but generally I find road ragers are not really mad at the other driver. They feel powerless about some other situation in their lives and use a simple traffic mistake to release that anxiety in the form of rage.

Either that or he's an off duty NYSP

Cop from Norwalk CT was recently arrested for road rage incident while off duty. I think he chased another driver and drove them off the road or something. Crazy stuff.

2020 BMW M4 CS  [9.91]
But the BMW drives off, squishing the minivan driver between the two vehicles.
The driver of the minivan suffered a broken collarbone, police said.
Both cars have been traced to drivers in New Jersey, according to investigators, but they aren’t sure if the man seen in the BMW is the same person who owns it.
The driver of the minivan, who police described as a 66-year-old Asian man, told police he may not be interested in pressing charges.
Police became aware of the incident because of a Crimestoppers tip.
“The victim themselves never reported it,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters during a briefing Tuesday.

Understand the repercussions on when you use it in your state. Like in Texas you can't use the military/police grade, it is illegal.

Example: https://www.pepper-spray-store.com/pages/michigan-laws#

Just make sure you don't get jammed up using it.
