Road Rage

Road rage is aggressive or angry behavior by a driver of an automobile or other motor vehicle. Such behavior might include rude gestures, verbal insults, deliberately driving in an unsafe or threatening manner, or making threats. Road rage can lead to altercations, assaults, and collisions which result in injuries and even deaths. It can be thought of as an extreme case of aggressive driving.Road rage is a relatively serious act: It may be seen as an endangerment of public saftey. It is, however, not always possible to judge intent by external observation, so road ragers who are stopped by police may be charged with other offenses such as careless or reckless driving.With more and more people in the world and in the workforce, roads are becoming increasingly crowded. Inside our metal boxes, we are not always as polite as we would be to one another face to face, and when we’re all frustrated with traffic, sometimes people make mistakes or pull impolite driving maneuvers, which can lead to anger from other frustrated drivers. This often results in road rage, which can pose a significant threat to health and safety for everyone on the road.
