Road rage study reveals bad driving can be caused by getting angry

Most drivers admit that road rage at bad driving actually makes their own driving worse, according to new statistics.

Driver error remains by far the most common cause of road accidents, according to Continental Tyres research.

The study found that more than three-quarters of 2,000 drivers polled tended to act more aggressively after being ’wound up’ by either other drivers’ bad habits or driving behaviour of which they did not approve.
