Unfortunately, the days of drivers on the road having empathy for others has largely gone. It's now all about the individual and anything that impacts them going about their business.

Expect empathy to run out when one operates a vehicle with no self awareness and a lack of consideration or courtesy towards fellow motorists.
Whether that be driving like all of bent 8s example above.
Holding up the entrance to a car park because someone wants to wait for a park by the door instead of walking an extra 20 metres.
Pulling v out infront if you in an open road speed zone only to slow down 2km down the road to pull into a driveway or side road. Etc.
I’m not justifying any form of aggressive behaviour in response to these just as selfish actions but people who are guilty of above shouldn’t be surprised if someone unhinged reacts.
