I've been seeing so much road rage recently

Yeah.. And crashes as well.

Vicroads taught my wife to keep a 2 second gap.

Motorcycle training says 3.

I tell my wife to do 5 instead (and double that in poor conditions), because frankly speaking, 2 seconds isn't much if a turkey somewhere in front decides to conduct a brake check.

Her colleague was involved in an accident on the m1 this week (she is ok but very shaken up), caused by a brake checking idiot a few vehicles ahead.
