Road rage can endanger drivers and their passengers, raise their blood pressure and their insurance costs — and, in more than a few cases, kill them. Such are the sobering findings of a detailed survey conducted by the Insurify group, who say that drivers who are cut off by another car are most likely to react angrily on the road.
These “angry” behaviors or reactions may include honking, cursing, blocking the offending driver from changing lanes, or in rare cases, confronting another driver or forcing him or her off the road. And these confrontations may be the least of it, Insurify reports: Road rage shooting deaths more than doubled between 2018 and 2022, accounting for 141 deaths and more than 413 injuries in 2022, the survey says.
