Subcommittee members heard testimony from auto safety advocates concerning agressive driving in the U.S. and enforcement measures. Mr. Martinez testified that “road rage", or drivers becoming frustrated by other motorists and violently confronting them, is responsible for two-thirds of traffic deaths in the United States. Dr. Nerenberg said he considered "road rage” a mental disorder. Mr. Willis said that a study of aggressive drivers shows that most are between the ages of 18 and 26 and are poorly educated with criminal records. close
