Road rage is aggressive or angry behavior by a driver of an automobile or other motor vehicle. Such behavior might include rude gestures, verbal insults, deliberately driving in an unsafe or threatening manner, or making threats. Road rage can lead to altercations, assaults, and collisions which result in injuries and even deaths. It can be thought of as an extreme case of aggressive driving.
The term supposedly originated in the USA during the 1980s. The term did originate in the USA during the 1980s, specifically from Newscasters at KTLA a local television station in Los Angeles, California. The term originated in 1987-1988, wherefrom a rash of Freeway Shootings occurred on the 405, 110 and 10 Freeways in Los Angeles. These shooting sprees even spawned a response from the AAA Motorclub to its members on how to respond to drivers with RoadRage and/or Aggressive Manuevers and Gestures.
