Road rage: Is it an anger management issue or a lack of respect?

Loading player...
This past weekend in Gauteng, what started as a minor car accident ended in death. Two drivers got into an argument, it turned physical and then the guns came out. A man is dead. A woman is in hospital. Another driver is walking away with minor injuries and a murder charge hanging over him.

Police are now investigating murder and attempted murder.
And this is not an isolated incident. According to the Institute for Driver Safety, more than 1,000 South Africans died in road rage incidents this year alone.

Think about that. Over a thousand people. Gone. Not because of the accident but because of what happened after.

Stacey and J Sbu asked you if road rage is an anger management issue or a blatant lack of respect. We heard from you before, registered counsellor Linda Turner looked at what is really going on inside our heads when we lose it on the road.
