Motoring by Anton Nilsson  Most drivers have experienced road rage in the last year, a new study has found. The NRMA surveyed more than 2000 members in NSW and the ACT and found 70 per cent had felt road rage over the past 12 months. One in four people said children had been present during the incident. An even higher percentage (79 per cent) said they had witnessed the behaviour in other drivers. Road rage was defined by those responding as physically assaulting another driver, getting out of a vehicle to confront another driver, tailgating and yelling. It s consistently a serious issue, NRMA spokesman Peter Khoury said.

A group of men were caught on camera throwing punches at each other in the morning traffic in western Sydney.
A timestamp and coordinates in a video posted online shows the brawl happened on Old Windsor Road in Glenwood, NSW on Tuesday morning.
The 7.43am punch-up was the culmination of a dispute that began a kilometre earlier and prompted the drivers to try to “run each other off the road”, according to the driver who shared the footage.
“Windsor Rd this morning (13th April 21) coming home from work,” the person said according to the Facebook group Dashcam Owners Australia, where the road rage footage was posted.
