This article will discuss what causes road rage particularly the psychological and psychiatric aspects followed by contributing factors to this violent and potentially murderous phenomenon.
From there we shall refer to the prevalence of road rage citing predominantly such events in the U.S and Australia.
It will then cover the statistics of motor vehicle accidents highlighting the fact that we shall never know how many may have died or been seriously injured as the result of road rage. Also spoken about is the Australian government's national road safety action plan all the way to 2030 and examples of white papers to reduce the prevalence of road rage.
Nearing the end of this article we shall take a look at the state of Texas' initiative of a dedicated road rage taskforce designed to catch the perpetrators in the act and by doing so gathering material first hand which is then assessed by the psychologists attached to this successful initiative.
