One in Three British Drivers Subject to Road Rage
There’s a survey for every conceivable automotive notion regarding British drivers and roadways. This time, a Zurich-based insurance survey revealed that one out of every three drivers in the UK has been victims of road rage in the last three years.
That’s nearly 10 million drivers experiencing some sort of dangerous outburst from a fellow commuter. The survey also revealed that 10 percent have had the angered driver pull over to confront them. No word on how many of those confrontations led to physical violence.
Sixty-four percent of those surveyed admitted to projecting aggressive behavior on the roadways. Yet, 75 percent of those said they felt justified in their actions. We imagine, here in the U.S., the numbers would be equally as high, if not higher. We’re an angry bunch on the road.
Have you been the victim of road rage recently? How often do you get aggressive on the roadways? Let us know in the comments.

A disarmed population is a rude population.
