One common form of aggression is road rage. We have all experienced it. But how do we deal with it? Compare your driving habits with those of adults in a 2012 online survey of 1423 Canadian drivers 18 years of age and older, which revealed the most common conditions that typically trigger road rage among Canadian drivers. They are as follows: Drivers who are distracted/not paying attention (i.e. on their cell phones, eating, etc.), someone cutting me off, people driving aggressively around me, someone tailgating me, when I'm running behind schedule, someone not letting me merge, gridlock and heavy traffic, detours and construction delays, a bad day, and city driving (https://files.newswire.ca/1147/RageConditions.pdf).

Statistics on aggressive driving are difficult to compile because there is no consensus on definition and most cases go unreported.

Why do you think aggressive driving occurs? Consider the role of congestion, urbanization, stress, and deindividuation. How does this link with some of the discussion we have had on crowding and aggression?
