The UK may be on the edge of a winter road rage epidemic. Nearly 30% of all male drivers have admitted to confronting another driver in a 'road rage' incident, according to the latest survey from Nationwide Autocentre. When questioned what time of year was most likely to trigger this fury, 36% of men highlighted that winter topped the list. A shocking 26% of mums also revealed that their children had been in the car when they had been subjected to motoring related abuse - this in a week where people are being encouraged to change their behaviour to help save lives on Britain's roads. In addition, an astonishing 51% of the population admitted to venting their frustrations while driving by shouting or swearing, with 6 per cent (equating to 2.4 million drivers!) admitting to have deliberately damaged another person's vehicle in a fit of road related anger. Duncan Wilkes, managing director at Nationwide, comments: 'Winter driving in particular is fraught with difficulties as poor conditions put a strain on cars and motorists alike - add road rage in to the mix and it becomes very dangerous indeed. We were astounded and to see nearly 30% of men admitted to getting out of their vehicle to confront another driver. Even more disturbing, that 6% of the population have deliberately damaged other vehicles as a result of road rage. November 2008 Fact  Every day nine people are killed and nearly ten times as many are seriously injured on UK roads.
