“When I stopped at the red light, I approached my car and banged the window saying,’Let’s talk outside.’
The horror that occurred in late MayRoad rageA child (female in her 20s) living in Saitama Prefecture talks regarding the damage.
The trigger was that I entered in front of the offending vehicle by changing lanes. After that, it just stuck behind,policeIt is said that the horn continued to be honked along the way to escape to the station.
“I saw a police car near the police station and the criminal ran away immediately. Until then, I was chased around for regarding 30 minutes. I might file a damage report, but I gave up because I was afraid of retaliation.”
However, such cases are still occurring all over Japan today.
“The word” road rage “itself attracted attention in the case caused by Defendant Kazuho Ishibashi at the Tomei Expressway in 2017.
Furthermore, in 2019, the beating case caused by former defendant Fumio Miyazaki on the Joban Expressway is also fresh in my memory. In 2020, a “jamming driving crime” was created to punish road rage.
However, since the Showa era, there has been “road rage” itself. I have been arrested for assault, injury, and vandalism. “
Is said by the former Tokushima Prefectural Police Investigation Division 1.crimeThis is Hiroyasu Akiyama, a commentator.
“In my experience, the offending vehicle is large.Premium carThere are many. “LightAutomobileWhat’s in the way! “(Same as above)
A lot of research data supporting Mr. Akiyama’s experience has been published with the social problem of road rage.

As shown in the table of related images, the overwhelming majority of the damaged vehicles are luxury cars with vehicle prices exceeding 5 million yen, while the damaged vehicles account for less than 5 million yen, accounting for more than 70%.
In other words, it can be said that the cheaper the car, the easier it is to get angry, and the higher the car, the more it gets angry.
In terms of the number of simple victims, those in their 40s are the most, and most of them are in their 30s, but when looking at the percentage of license holders by age group, the perpetrators tend to be young.
Furthermore, “the color of the car is also related to driving” is said by Professor Kazunori Shidoji of Kyushu University, who studies traffic psychology.
