It's quite common and has been for a long time; if you're curious there are some grim statistics here:I did not know road rage was still popular in US.
Could be Covid related, at least indirectly.

Not only are road rage incidents becoming more common, the guns are coming out more often, too. Apparently Florida saw 147 road rage cases involving a firearm between 2014 and 2016. I'd rag on them some more, but my own state isn't doing that much better.
I was stopped on the Altamont Pass in heavy traffic once, and witnessed an enraged fellow punch in the window of a car two lanes over after a fender bender had dented his. Apparently with his bare hands, which I didn't think was possible? Certainly not recommended. I hate commuting.
