Despite a relatively large amount of road rage in South Africa, only 1 in 10 drivers admit to being fast and reckless drivers.
4 out of 10 drivers describe themselves as slow and cautious. It would seem that the fast and reckless are more prone to experiencing road rage behaviour - 60% of this group report experiencing aggressive / threatening behaviour compared to 46% of the slow and cautious drivers. A slightly higher percentage of the slower drivers report persistent flashing headlights coming their way.
Similarly, the faster drivers are far more likely to direct this sort of behaviour - 14% admitting to aggressive / threatening driving compared to 9% of the slower drivers.
