Question:

What is the main difference between aggressive driving and road rage?

Answer: Intent to do harm or physical assault

Explanation
Aggressive driving constitutes behavior that can be very dangerous and pushy, and may lead to accidents or other issues. However, road rage is operating a vehicle with the actual intent to cause harm to someone or physically assault them or their vehicle. The level of anger may be the same as an aggressive driver - it is just expressed more dangerously.
