Road rage and dash cams

I've just been watching some dash cam videos - hours of harmless fun... usually. Well, tonight I started on some road rage videos and it occurred to me that in the majority of the incidents filmed, the rage was actually started and fueled by the person with the camera. Sure, the other road user had done something daft, then responded to the rage and got heavily involved, but the rage was initiated and fueled by the camera operator.

Now the interesting thing is this. These road users (it takes all types) have not only filmed these incidents, but then posted them on youtube, apparently believing that they are in the right. Have they no understanding of their own behaviour?

Incidentally, I no longer watch bicycle cam footage, it usually upsets me.
