What is "road rage"?
Road rage refers to aggressive or violent behavior by a driver towards others on the road, often triggered by frustration or anger. This can include actions like tailgating, excessive speeding, rude gestures, shouting, or even dangerous driving such as cutting off other vehicles. Road rage is often a response to stressful traffic situations, but it can lead to accidents or escalate into further conflicts. It is considered a serious safety concern, as it increases the risk of crashes and can harm both the driver displaying road rage and others on the road.
