"with 69-year-old men emerging as the worst"
Un-be-lieve-able!!

>>Un-be-lieve-able!!
I agree, and I suspect that this is the reason why....
People were asked if they felt that they 'regularly experience road rage.'
Well I suspect that you will find that what a 69 year old in Lincoln and what an 19 year old in Orpington describe or perceive as road rage are probably quite different. I imagine it'd take a lot more for the average person in the second category to think he'd encountered road rage.
I should think you'd get the same results if you asked "how many rude people do you meet in a shop every day?".

Jee-Sus! If my road rage is going to get any worse over the next 9 years i'll end up as the worlds most prolific serial killer!

"Privilege's research estimates that UK drivers experience road rage – either as victim or perpetrator – once every 20 minutes or seven miles"
Must be using a different definition of road rage to mine. Or maybe I'm the one who's causing it!

If that's an average there must be some VERY angry people out there.

I experience road rage often, but hardly ever express it or let it show. Perhaps it isn't really rage but just bored irritation. I'm seldom shocked or surprised on the road, usually a whisker ahead of the game.
Hope that wasn't asking for trouble.

Buddhist Wisdom, with some relevance to road rage.
“An action, even if it brings benefit to oneself, cannot be considered a good action if it causes physical and mental pain to another.â€

To me road rage is when a driver gets so angry he rams another car off the road, follows a driver for miles before forcing him to stop and then beats him up, draws a gun and shoots someone for getting in the way, or becomes so agitated that his passengers have to restrain him from getting out and attacking someone.
Cutting someone up out of revenge or accelerating to try and baulk his overtaking is just normal driving life.

Of course it is, but it's quite normal, and not worth getting het up about and gracing with the title "road rage".

Actually it's sometimes murderously dangerous and stupid driving, especially the second. I've never done that except by accident.
Vengeful cutting up can be done safely but is best not done at all of course. I'd guess most of us have been there in our early days before we became prudent.

Roadrage to me when you have a punch up with somebody out the car.We've all been cut up or two fingers at us.Always be carefull who you fall out with some people are very unpredictable.

Too right Dutchie. In my hot-tempered youth I got myself nutted in the face by saying the wrong thing to a beer lorry driver who (as they did in those days) had been at the product since early morning. There was a language problem: to me the word 'b******' was just strong badinage, but to him it was fighting talk. It was an embarrassing scene in which some passing car fuzz got briefly involved, to the beer lorry man's terror. He was a bit sorry he'd lost his rag too, but he was a liar and a bit of a toerag. I was just young and stupid.
