Seven in 10 drivers in New South Wales and the A.C.T. have been the victims of road rage in the past year, according to a new report.

The figures, obtained in a National Roads & Motorists’ Association survey of more than 1200 members, also showed that a child under the age of 15 was present at nearly a quarter of road rage incidents.

While plenty of people say they have been the victim of road rage, only around one in five motorists admitted to acting out by persistently leaning on the horn, making rude hand gestures and using abusive language against other road users.





A video uploaded to social media overnight shows dash cam vision of a recent incident, where a car cut in front of another driver on the the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The driver then stops and hops out of his car, to confront the occupants of the vehicle he cut off.

Incidents such as this are becoming more frequent, with three quarters of respondents saying that drivers are becoming more aggressive.

However road rage incidents are currently under-reported, with only four percent of those surveyed having reported an incident they were involved in to police.

While abusive drivers may have gotten away with their road rage antics in the past, the rise of the dash cam is helping police catch drivers at their worst, as these videos show.
