Perhaps it was ’rrhoid rage.

The Canadian Coast Guard regulates jokes? What a country!
He doesn’t look like a doormat, because he looks like one of those yappy little purse-dogs who gets away with constantly barking his head off because everyone - even the bigger dogs - are so taken aback by the ridiculousness of his tiny-brained ferocity that they can’t quite bring themselves to smack the poor, pathetic little thing around.
Road rage? More like road petulance. Does a whole bunch of screaming about what a hard-ass he is - and then backs down. And then screams some more about what a hard-ass he is.
Or would be, I’m sure, if anyone would give his ridiculous yapping the time of day.

Is there some reason why either driver couldn’t’ve driven onto the sidewalk to allow passing? The only danger to that around here is that sometimes basements extend under the sidewalk.
I was actually kinda hoping that the Maltese guy would get out, be twice his size, and deck him.

If I remember correctly they have crazy roundabouts that go the wrong way. ie even though they drive on the left they give way to the left at roundabouts.
As you say tho it’s so small you can just wander around it. No bigger than 5 miles across (again if my memory serves me correctly).
I assume it’s kinda popular. There was a German driver, I believe, who was kinda successful. Toni Schuhmacher orsomesuch.
But it’s all like driving in circles to me, so rather pointless…
Also, beer’s pretty popular in Gemany, too, but I still maintain that it smells like horse urine with alcohol and have to believe other people, when they tell me that there are differences.
Betweens other beers, I mean,
Heh, Michael Schumacher 
Know what you mean though - it can be a little tedious.
I’m not encouraging psychopathic behavior but I still feel there’s not enough information here to draw a definitive conclusion that this man is any different from a normal guy faced with a really infuriating situation. To me, the video makes me ask more questions - what happened in the couple of minutes before the video started? What made this guy who drives a minivan and wearing sandals fly into this level of rage? Something must have happened. I think that we can at least agree that he wasn’t like this 24/7.
I’ve seen way worse on either coasts of the US, in Europe and Asia. The guy comes nowhere near “psychopathic”. You can even tell he is deliberate and controlled (even though vocally he doesn’t seem to be) in his actions by doing the least possible damaging thing to the focus of his anger: lightly tweaking the direction of the right rear view mirror. You don’t see him kicking, punching the shit out of the other driver. I’ve seen lots of road rage in California and this was nothing - certainly nothing to get in trouble with work about.
^super good insight!^
I can imagine scenarios where he had reason to be angry, but I think with his threats of violence and reaching into the car he crossed a line. All in all there is just no way how his behavior was acceptable and I can’t muster much sympathy for him.

The only reason you don’t see him doing anything to the other driver is because the other driver doesn’t get out of the car. At one point he reaches in through the back window of the car to try to get at the driver.

I’ve never been able to get into Nascar, but I find a certain zen place when I’m watching an F1 race on TV. The British announcers, the drone of the engines, the swerving roads, it soothes me.
A builder installing a water cooler in our department took a hand-drill to one of the lecturing staff, revved it up and mimed pushing it into his stomach while laughing. I suspect that the builder, like the driver shown here, spent a little too much time in Iraq before leaving the army…
Tony Schumacher is actually a drag racer.
That’s how I feel watching Snooker
Did you even watch the video?
The guy is seriously unhinged; he’s not having a minor fit, he’s jumping up and down on the line between fury and frothing insanity.

meh come on… I’ve seen much worse. Look here’s a Russian diplomat in Malta encountering the same driver in the same street the very next day:
Diplomacy
Ooooh yes. I was on vacation in the Canaries one year, and a snooker championship was on, and we ended up watching it for HOURS.
