  1. Road Rage can be caused by many reasons, things that happens in our days, like when you got bad grades, problems with the family, lost a game on the TV, finish a relation ship, breake your video game console... Any way, road rage can be caused when every thing is going wrong, or just one especial thing.
    It consequences can be very serious, it can result in car crash ( when people get hurry wile driving ), or it can result in violent fights by the drivers or pedestrians, by the way, giving more road rage to the others with a big traffic jam. That turns a real chaos.

    In my opinion road rage ,is a big problem because it´s becoming more and more common on big cities.Firstly people get angry and say bad words,afther they start fighting and sometimes it can end on death.The life nowadays is really dinamic,people have many appointments and have try to arrive there as fast as possible but the traffic doesn´t help at all.So the people has to stay calm and think that they´re not the only ones there that are going thought te same problem.

    Trafic is a topic that, nowadays, it is really irritating people. Bad riders and unpolite people gets on everybody nerves when they put them and other lifes in risc. Some ways of taking that rage of you is screaming at the others and, sometimes, punching, wich it is not a healty action, because it can end at a police station, hospital and even a funeral. People shoul be more patient and think twice before doing something that they may regret after some time. You never know who is the other fighter and what kind of things they are capable of doing.

  6. Road Rage, what causes it ?
    I think that Road Rages are not just caused by the anger in traffic. I think that it´s also caused by problems in routine like divorce , children , work , bills and all the things that stress you, and after , you discount them on the streets. I agree that it´s very annoying, but I can´t believe that all that anger is just caused by slow cars and unnatended drivers. People should watch out, because their personal problems are not other people´s fault. And people should remember that everybody has their problems and everyone has bad days. So , when you are driving on the streets , remember to check if the mistake wasn´t yours.

  7. Road Rage is common in our daily lives. Because of heavy traffic and the need to be in many places in a short time, people get angry and do stupid things as an explosion of their rage.
    This problem started when cities began to receive many people as a consequence of the Industrial Revolution. Cities' population increased but the cities didn't. Streets were still small or adapted for a lower number of cars, parkings didn't keep up the increase of cars in the streets and there wasn't many crosswalks for pedestrians. This situation made traffic become a chaos.
    As a consequence, many people die in traffic. Drivers overpass speed limits to not be late at work, pedestrians don't obbey crosswalks and in extreme cases of rage, drivers spank or kill other people.
    Unfortunately, this is not just a movie. This is real life too. :/

    Road rage is a common issue nowdays. Because of the stress that most people live they get mad easier than before.
    Stress in work, family and at other places are carried over the day to finally be released in a moment where the anger cannot be stocked anymore and must be unleashed.
    And that is the moment when the road rage happens.
    So the road rage is not just a problem that happens in streets but is just the tip of an iceberg that we call modern life.

    The traffic nowadays it's one reason to get to some place faster, but is the reason of accidents, stressed people, injuried people and even deaths. There is always someone that don't respect the laws, in many of the cases, the accidents are caused by them. One example is the guys that drink and drives. The road rage can be caused too by some motoboys, that pass between the cars in the traffic and this can break the rearview of the cars, this cause stress to the car drives, and some of them, make crazy things, punch someone, break the car or the motocycle that hit his car and even kill someone. So the best thing to do is try to get calm on the traffic, because in every place have someone that don't respect the laws and have chances to hit your car.

  11. my grandfather get nervous so easily when he is driving and almost times that he take me to the school he gets angry with someone on the street, actually he shows the finger or a little knife that he have in the car just to intimidate another people, but people gives a shit for it they are just in rage to.
    road rage is normally caused becouse people are always hurry, and when they can't get where they want to be in the hour they get angry, and they don't fucking care about the fucking people on their front

    Who has never seen an atitude of violence in a road rage?It´s becoming more and more common in this century.One of the reasons of that is that people are so stresseful with job, family or bills.The truth is that people don´t have time anymore to enjoy themselves and when they waste the time that they could be having fun in the road rage they become agressive.They also discont their life frustations on it.This problem can´t be resolved, because the sociate is evoluing to have more cars on the street and to work more than having fun.So the only way to change this is to completely change our sociate.

    Trafic in big cities all over the world intend to get worse. Streets don't have conditions to suport the big number of cars. People bring to the streets their stressfull lifes causing to themselves and also to other people accidents and consequently many deaths. Habitants living their hurled lifes disrespect trafic laws, causing car crashes or other pedestrian accidents. Also, Road Rage can be explained as one cause of crimes involving shooting or even stabbing each other. All these as revenge of something that happened between two or more drivers during their way of home or work.
