===Road rage=== [[Road rage]] is aggressive or angry behavior by a driver of an automobile or other motor vehicle. Such behavior might include rude gestures, verbal insults, deliberately driving in an unsafe or threatening manner, or making threats. Road rage can lead to altercations, assaults, and collisions which result in injuries and even deaths. It can be thought of as an extreme case of [[aggressive driving]].[[File:Female Street Sellers Accra 12.jpg|thumb|An example of the traffic situation in Accra, Ghana, increasing carbon emission in the air|257x257px]]The term originated in the United States in 1987β1988 (specifically, from Newscasters at [[KTLA]], a local television station), when a rash of freeway shootings occurred on the 405, 110 and 10 freeways in Los Angeles, California. These shooting sprees even spawned a response from the AAA Motor Club to its members on how to respond to drivers with road rage or aggressive maneuvers and gestures.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/303700.html|title="Road rage" meaning and origin, Phrases.org.uk|access-date=October 5, 2014|archive-date=June 21, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090621083855/http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/303700.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
