Road rage is anti-social behaviour that shouldn't be tolerated. Direct action will lead to more road rage. Law is required to deal with people behaving aggressively on the roads.

forms of road rage:


rude gestures like two fingers
blocking lane etc.
verbal abuse
coming out of vehicle and threatening other driver
damaging vehicle of the other person
weaving from lane to lane
overtaking resulting in putting other vehicles in danger.
tailgating
speeding

there are more instances and examples of road rage. main ones are listed though.

All of us have suffered road rage at some time in our driving lives.

One of the funniest was, once a car overtook five cars, mine was third one to be overtaken by a male in his 30's. 500 meters down the lane there was a big queue. Overtaker ended up in the wrong lane and people behind him were in front of him. Sad story but it was worth it.

There are good drivers out there as well as very bad drivers and in some situations controlling oneself is best way of causing road rage.

Another thing which I never understand is speedsters. Shaving few minutes by driving dangerously is not worth the risk.

Things that make me angry.

Clearly some people shouldn't be on the roads. OAP's (over 80) shouldn't be on the road. Their driving drives other people mad.

Women drivers, take the hiss some time, I've seen women applying make up to their pretty faces while driving.

While this is irritating I never get so much hissed off.

I am not the one to become angry enough to road rage. I can understand why road rage exists. Bad drivers and impatient people.

There are hundreds of cases where road rage causes accidents. It should be avoided. In ideal world that is possible, we don't live in a perfect world and road rage is likely to happen more and more as roads get crowded with vehicles.

Summary: avoid it if you can
