Have you ever seen someone’s anger when you’re stuck in the traffic jam in rush hours?
Have you witnessed any driver acting aggressively toward other people on the road? If yes, you
have probably witnessed a case of road rage.
Road rage is aggressive or angry behavior of a driver in a road vehicle. Road rage includes
rude gestures, verbal insults, physical threats or even dangerous driving methods. Those behaviors
intend to release stress and frustration of the angry drivers. Road rage can cause noisy arguments
between drivers and more seriously, physical attacks. That may result on severe injuries or even
death. There are many reasons of road rage, one of them is traffic jam. With the increased number
of private vehicles in the streets, congestion is getting worse and worse. People are easy to get angry
if they are stuck in the traffic jam, so road rage is more likely to happen. People are recommended
to calm themselves in the traffic jam by listening to radio or music, so they can prevent road rage.
