Is it a " thing " for drivers to keep a hammer handy?
Looking for more information on this case, found that there seemed to be many road rage incidents involving hammers. imo, speculation.

Yes, hammers, baseball bats, knives, guns (real and fake) and almost everything else you can think of. Any slight at all seems to trigger some folk.
The world has gone mad.
