Survey: 70% of motorists driven to road rage

SEVEN out of 10 Irish motorists have been driven to road rage while behind the wheel, a new study has revealed.

The worrying figures show more drivers than ever are being pushed to breaking point as Ireland’s roads grow more and more congested in the run-up to Christmas.

The findings of the survey, commissioned by Setanta Insurance, show a significant increase in the incidence of drivers losing their temper behind the wheel.
