Qld study into road rage impact

Shouting at drivers who cut you off might feel good at the time but does it affect your long-term health?

A 12-month Queensland study into courteous driving will examine how road rage and stress affect the human body.

Participants will be subjected to real-life road situations in a state-of-the art driving simulator in the joint RACQ and University of the Sunshine Coast study.

"I know some of us have said don't drive angry, but what this might be about is really finding out what the cost of driving angry is," RACQ Executive General Manager Advocacy Paul Turner said.
