The Pulse: Road Rage

On this edition of the Pulse, we'll try and understand why people are so angry when on roads? What are the factors that lead to this outburst of anger on road... And what can be done to reduce this growing problem. Such incidents have become so common these days that you open the newspaper, and you'll read about multiple such news stories from different parts of the country. Especially in metropolitan cities, where the number of vehicles is more and driving becomes a stressful activity, road rage has become a common occurrence. What's worrying is that such incidents are not just increasing but also getting bizarre each day, with people losing their lives. Dangerous outbursts on road are a common sight in Delhi as well. The national capital, in fact, also called a hotheaded city because of the innumerable road rage incidents reported from here.
