    My apologies, friend, but correlation is not causation. There are many reasons why stopping suddenly would cause a ripple effect, which is exacerbated by too short of a follow distance, among other things. “Road rage” is an informal term closer to an idiom than a quantifiable variable, furthermore. However, I believe I hear what you’re intending to convey.

    To your second point, that is fundamentally incorrect; just because it is not an abrupt change is no proof that it doesn’t affect the wider scope of traffic on said road. In fact, one could make an argument that ignoring this fact may be due to a perspective too focused on one’s own locality within said traffic instead of perceiving the conversation as a whole.

    I appreciate your candor and neighborly discourse, all the same. 🙇🏽‍♂️
