So in these "road rage incidents" I really want to know more of the facts, such as:Here is an update:

Looks like he did consent to a search of his vehicle and got screwwed because of it.
Still not enough info BUT sounds like the "Road Rage" was he got cut off, followed to closely after getting cut off and then actually passed the woman.
"Mr. Cordeiro allegedly told police he became angry when he was cut off by a white SUV on Route 140 and started to drive close to the vehicle."
"A woman who came to the state police barracks in Leominster shortly after the arrest told police she was the driver of the other vehicle involved in the incident, and she was able to provide police with additional information. The woman told police that Mr. Cordeiro’s vehicle pulled up next to her and then pulled in front of her SUV. "
Not that the Road rage matters now with a gun charge.
- Did the lady in the SUV really cut him off? If true it's no excuse for his actions, but it does raise the question as to how many idiot drivers were involved in this incident. I drive 140 and 2 all the time and there are plenty of idiot driver to go around.
- How close did he then actually drive to the SUV?
- Did he pass her in a legal passing area? Last I knew passing somebody in a legal passing zone was not against the law or necessarily an indicator of road rage.
- Did he cut her off when he pulled back over? Again pulling back in after passing is perfectly legal, assuming it's done with sufficient clearance.
