"                                                                                                                                 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. This can involve deliberately hitting another person, vehicle or object with his/her own vehicle and/or firing a weapon from it. Other possibilities include hitting the person or vehicle with an item which is not his vehicle, but which ultimately hits another person or vehicle. Getting out of one's vehicle to another person's vehicle and banging, knocking on the windows, and yelling insults, is another form of Road Rage.  Environmental conditions are the main factors associated with Road Rage. These conditions can consist of traffic congestion, another’s dangerous driving habits, the weather (heat, humidity, etc.), noise levels, and time constraints.The other two causes of Road Rage, instructive responses and territorial defensiveness are also closely related. Intrusive responses are actions of retaliation to get back at another for their careless driving. Territorial defensiveness is the act of defending ones personal space (the car) in response to another individuals driving. Road Rage is a relatively serious act; it may be seen as a violation of property rights and an endangerment of personal security.
