facts about road rage Stephanie gently
extend your arm extend your middle
finger
very good almost all the research we
found on this topic dealt with road rage
in North America and especially in the
u.s. so that’s mostly what these facts
focus on I move my finger one inch to
use my turn signal why are these ISOs so
lazy they can’t move they think a
wonderful he needs the inch to drive
more safely number five the term road
rage emerged in late 80s Los Angeles
life in the big city has long been
connected to heavy traffic and personal
meltdowns and few cities if any have
traffic that rivals that of Los Angeles
the frustration of all that smoggy
gridlock led to a series of shootings on
la freeways that inspired the term road
rage in these modern hectic days of fast
food answering machines and one-night
stands
people are getting angrier the LA Times
published an article in July of 1987
that detailed the increased violence
over a six-week stretch in which 16
highway shootings were documented in
Southern California no arrests were
reported in 12 of those incidents and so
the motivations remained unclear as a
result the media took to calling the
behavior road rage reporters from local
TV station KTLA first began using the
phrase and it just stuck
number four reckless driving aggressive
driving and road rage can all look the
same
so you see someone swerve out of their
Lane and then cut someone off it looked
reckless and aggressive but was it road
rage how can you tell the fine line
between aggressive driving and road rage
is a problem researchers have had to
deal with these rich bastards have to be
callous and considering the first place
to make a lot money so when they get on
the road they can tell themselves
they’ve got to be callous and
inconsiderate drivers to a multi-year
study by Texas A&M argued that any
technical use for either term is
problematic because individual drivers
perceive the two acts in different ways
however if road rage is over-reported we
are more likely to identify plain old
bad driving as an act of directed
aggression to study therefore notes that
part of the cure for road rage is that
the public’s perspective of the problem
is restored to realistic proportions in
other words well it’s hard to
misinterpret someone flipping you the
bird don’t make assumptions about
intention when the situation isn’t quite
so clear hello it was a stop sign okay
number three Instagram posts show
hashtag road rage happens exactly when
you’d expect but first let me take a
selfie
in 2016 the website auto insurance
center calm analyzed 65,000 Instagram
posts for some insight granted this is
more of a reflection of when people are
posting about road rage than an actual
measure of when where road radiused
but unsurprisingly that time is friday
at 6 p.m. make sense
working people are at their most
fatigued and it’s rush hour plus many
are probably trying to get out of town
for a little R&R in fact july in august
when folks are typically taking
vacations in north america are the most
hashtag road rage filled
and shockingly la is the national road
rage capital what other great insights
were there did people swear a lot when
talking about Oh yep yep they did
I think what this Instagram study is
actually demonstrating are two of the
things that social media is best at
confirming our biases and pointing out
the blatantly obvious
number two 80% of drivers act out their
anger you’re probably sitting there
thinking not me
but be honest in 2016 the triple a
foundation for traffic safety released
the results of a survey of 2705 American
drivers 80% of respondents admitted to
having expressed significant anger
aggression or road rage at least once
while driving in the past year they also
found that 51 percent of people have
purposefully tailgated and three percent
bumped or rammed another vehicle on
purpose the world the only one who finds
that number really high some other
common characteristics of angry drivers
they’re much more likely to habitually
run red lights and speed and other
studies have found links between
aggressive driving and impulsive angry
personalities and even a history of
concussions
number one road rage is deadly come on
come on get that corpse off the road the
streets are for the living yeah this
might be kind of obvious as a fact but
it deserves to be said again road rage
leads to violence and violence often
leads to death a 2015 report by the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration noted a yearly increase
of fatal accidents involving both
aggressive driving and road rage the
NHTSA also reports that 66% of deaths on
the road are a result of aggressive
driving the triple a foundation for
traffic safety says 37 percent of
aggressive driving conflicts involve at
least one firearm so what to do experts

contact with an automotive aggressor and
resist the urge to respond to the jerk
