Contradiction
"The cities with the most courteous drivers (least road rage) are Minneapolis, Nashville, St. Louis, Seattle, and Atlanta. In 2009, New York, Dallas/Fort Worth, Detroit, Atlanta and Minneapolis/St. Paul were rated the top five "Road Rage Capitals" of the United States." Either these two sentences contradict one another, or Minneapolis and St. Paul are like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Joking aside, it's a contradiction: Even without the Twin Cities, there's no way Atlanta can make both lists. -- JeffBillman (talk) 01:30, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Update would be nice on rankings
Currently on this page, 2007 was the last update on rankings, according to the text. This has changed significantly since, to the extent that the "Most courteous" cities are now the "least courteous" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.123.31.144 (talk) 02:44, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
New Zealand
I've just removed the paragraph on road rage in NZ. It had no references and was highly editorialised towards the view that there are no charges laid against those to conduct road rage in NZ. While there may not be specific road rage offences - a quick search shows people are charged with other offences (assault, driving offences etc) as a result of road rage incidents, so the paragraph is not at all accurate.

Historical Antecedents in the U.S.
I question if subject section is appropriate for this article which should be clearly focused on motorists on public roads rather than locomotive drivers on railways, pilots of aircraft, or boaters on the high seas. Thewellman (talk) 03:49, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
Road rage includes bike rage
Bike rage is merely a specific form of road rage. It is defined as such on it's page. Claiming that road rage cannot include bikes makes the definition of bike rage make zero sense. PrettyTarable (talk) 23:17, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with the reasoning. The "people operating a vehicle on the road" makes it more accurate. And the article is free to concentrate on motorists while relegating other vehicles to the See Also section. I snipped out "on the road", considering the considerable number of such beefs that happen in parking lots or other private property. signed, Willondon (talk) 23:39, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
