When someone cuts you off in traffic, you might get angry, but their behavior, their cutting-off-other-people-in-traffic personality guarantees that you will never be stuck behind them, unable to go faster.
Unless he is the kind of person who cuts you off and then slows down, satisfied that he is now at the front of the line. (I am using “he” on purpose here, because it will almost certainly be a guy.)
My friend ended up in hospital in a similar way. He kept a safe distance from a vehicle in front of him. The guy behind him got impatient and pushed himself narrowly between them… and then had to hit the breaks because the first car unexpectedly slowed down for some reason… and my friend crashed into him (the weather was bad, the road slippery, he was trying to keep the safe distance for a very good reason).
Generalized life lesson: Some people actually care about their position relative to you. Avoid them, if you can.
