Bad drivers on cell phones cause it. I have it so bad and fear one day I will get shot.

Answer 2

Most of us suffer from what we call "road rage." It's a form of frustration over things beyond our control. In that form, it's not a severe problem, since most mature adults learn to deal with this kind of frustration.

It's when the frustration causes us to act out that causes the real problems. To those of us who fail to exercise control, it makes little difference if it is an uncooperative traffic light, or a slow driver that will not let us have our way. We all know that anger can be directed at inanimate objects as well as people. Of course, there is a real difference in the consequences between swinging a bat at a lamp post, and doing the same to another driver.

Believe me, even if EVERY driver in the world suddenly became the most perfect automobile pilots, road rage will not dissapear.

And, even then, most people's perceptions of what makes a good or bad driver differ. In surveys taken, more than half of all drivers believe that they drive better than 90% of all other drivers. This, of course, cannot be true. Some of us are lying to ourselves.

In several examples during the surveys, some admitted tailgaters report that they are not the agressive drivers. It is the other drivers who don't get out of the way that are the agressive drivers.

Answer 3

Yes I suffer road rage. I have rage that the roads do not allow faster speeds. I have rage that there are always pot holes and construction. I have rage that fuel costs so much. Other then that I'm fine.

But seriously, what causes it, is mostly misunderstandings and people who are more concerned about their own wants. If fewer people to what happens on the road less personal then we would have less rage. People who are not paying attention, and are to busy talking on cell phones. If people would just slow down and take their time, there would be less road rage.

Answer 4

Yes I suffer from it. I think that the biggest cause of road rage is lack of common courtesy. When the guy in front of me is going 45-52 Miles per hour in a 55 MPH zone, or when someone cuts me off and I have to slam on my brakes to avoid a collision, it is very frustrating and there really isn't any way to vent that anger.

Answer 5

I get a little bit of rage every now and then. I don't ever get rage anywhere else. I stay calm in pretty much all situations...but once you're in the car, you can cuss and belittle all you want, and there's no consequences. You still get the satisfaction of ripping someone, and not have to worry about repercussions...unless they're packing heat and they run you off the road.

Answer 6

No, I do not suffer from my road rage, I make the drivers around me suffer


NOT!

Answer 7

No, I don't suffer from road rage, but my wife does....
btw, in normal situations I'm the one who gets mad at stuff and she's usually very calm, so this leads me to my answer for why I think it causes people to get mad.

Instead of us all being squirrels looking for a nut, I think we're all nuts looking for a squirrel!

Answer 8

Yes, I have to admit reckless people, and people who don't keep their mind on their driving really bugs me, but I have no come anywheres close to road rage.
