For many it does. The link between decriminalising traffic offences and road rage being treated as a traffic offence rather than a more regular assault is a strong one. Road rage is also often seen as an over the top reaction to a minor mistake or frustration that's also disliked by the majority of the audience rather than an attack on someone entirely innocent. It just gives space for people to fill in blanks similar to how use of accident instead of crash does(tho not as bad as that).

I've never heard that use of the term 'road rage' makes it more acceptable. What gives you that impression? I thought the population at large found 'road rage' very objectionable.
Obviously, it's perfectly possible that the out-of-orderness on display here was caused by something quite unrelated to traffic conditions. I just thought this was the most appropriate thread to post it in.
