I know road rage has been done to death, but on t'interweb everyone tends to be a bit cagey about admitting their own indiscretions. A couple of guys at work used our quiz tool to put together a quick road rage survey – we just want to see what people get angered by, what sort of age group tends to annoy and that sort of thing. There's no commercial interest here, just a couple of curious blokes… see how you do! It's a fairly rough and ready survey, so just follow the answers through answers as well as they apply to you.

I think my results probably depend on whether I'm on a motorbike or stuck in a car – being able to nip through queues does wonders for lowering blood pressure wink

The survey's here:

Done, some questions are a bit difficult to answer (which age group makes you angry) but I gave it my best shot smile

Interesting how I answered that I pretty much never get road rage. But then there were questions about what makes me angry on the road and I ticked several responses! Sure things make me annoyed but I never act on it, just swear inside the car, to myself and let the driver who made me mad get on with it.

Edit to add the result which is very very inaccurate! smile

Result: High: 65%+
Nearly every journey involves honking the horn, flipping the bird and generally scaring your passengers. You get the sort of road rage that deeply affects your mood and can even impact it after the journey is finished.

Thanks guys – appreciate it!

Yes, the results are a bit of a catch-all (it's a quiz platform without the flexibility to give really personal responses), but once lots of people have given us their answers we'll share the data. I reckon it could be quite interesting reading – I wonder how many stereotypes it'll confirm biggrin

20-45% Probably about right.

Low-medium.

It's partly my age, partly the result of wafting about in barge.

I've never "got" road rage. I've simply never have the slightest inclination to feel angry at other road users.

Whatever tool you are using is awful.

Tick boxes that don't tick, multi answers where it's not really clear what you want to do.
The age of the offenders should be multi choic (it could be anyone)

I got med-high - In reality I hardly ever get Road Rage.

Thats what I got as well.

Various things on the road annoy me, but I tend to just sit back and let them get on with it rather than get wound up and react to it.

And me. I often get a bit cross but I tend to just curse them under my breath and carry on.

20-45% was my result.

Sounds about right. I use to be a lot worse but generally unless someone is obviously being a knob I tend not to react anymore.

I think the problem is there are too many idiots on the road I can't be bothered reacting to them all!

I thought this at first too, a little confusing.

Once you've selected your choices a "done" icon will flash up on your last selected answer. Click this and you'll progress to the next question.

20% - 45%, sounds right. Pretty much the only time I get road rage is when people sit on the outside lanes of the motorway, not overtaking anything and holding everyone else up.

Result: Medium to high: 45-65%
More often than not you'll let other road users get to you – perhaps you shout a few choice words and occasionally use some rude hand gestures.
