Curious how they rate a crash as "road rage". Do the individuals involved admit
that it was road rage, or are the officers involved making their own conclusions? Doesn't matter, but I'm curious. I'd never admit to any officer that it was road rage, even if it was.

I'm a somewhat aggressive driver, having to navigate 39 miles to and from work each day. It's hard not to if you don't want to add about 10 minutes longer to your travel time.

There is such a cornucopia of drivers out there (in Utah). So many individuals that don't know all the laws and when you're traveling and trying to get somewhere on a timely basis, are very aggravating. The left lane dwellers and, for Utah, the drivers that don't remember being taught that when there is a green light, but you are in the left turn lane, the law says to enter the intersection and wait, even if it is until the light turns red. You are legally there. So many sit back behind the stop line and then the light changes and they hurry and leave you unable to make the turn. I wouldn't have possibly known that if it hadn't been on the test I was required to take when I moved to Utah from Florida.

I see rage every day in my afternoon travel home. In the morning it's within the 5 a.m. hour and traveling the speed limit is not much of a challenge. So many people get so mad so easy. 246 shots reported in Utah just this year alone. That is very scary. I try very hard to not be offended when someone is honking at me or flipping me off just for the fear that they'll pull out their guns and shoot at me.
