Katy, TX accident injury attorneys answer: How common is road rage on our roads? Do I even need to worry about it?

A:

According to the AAA (American Automobile Association) Foundation for Traffic Safety, road rage contributes to a full 56% of fatal crashes on our roadways. Their survey showed that 90% of drivers do believe that road rage is a serious danger. The AAA also found that more than 50% of drivers have experienced at least one incidence of road rage themselves. You may have read of at least one major traffic accident attributed to road rage in recent weeks.

You may be one of that majority yourself. Houston is the most populous metro area in Texas, and its traffic congestion only seems to be growing. Every rush hour seems to bring at least one report of a major traffic accident snarling our progress. Gridlock is a common problem during our daily commutes.

Professional organizations of psychologists have been trying to classify road rage as a mental condition for some time. This classification could lead to organized programs of treatment for road rage. However, that won't help you if you happen to trigger or exacerbate a road rage incident in an armed, frustrated driver who can't control his temper.
