Road rage (intentional high risk driving behavior) is a factor that increases the likelihood that a driver will be involved in a vehicle crash. The focus of this study was to determine potential antecedents of road rage and methods to prevent road rage. A sample of 372 participants were surveyed. Based upon responses, participant profiles were established to analyze the data. Analyses using Chi-square and Fisher's Exact test revealed a significant negative relationship between age and the tendency toward aggressive driving, particularly tailgating. in addition, content analysis revealed a number of potential antecedents of and solutions to road rage. Human factors implications are discussed.
