Road Rage Is It Becoming More Common And Extreme?

Crime surveys - because statistics are true. Using you statistic source knife crime is on the increase, so yes the willingness to kill anyone is on the increase as more people are "carrying"

No it isn't.

(That is all you will get out of me now )

Perhaps you could do a little research first instead of just mouthing off...?

Have you ever considered that not every road rage incident is reported to and recorded by the police?

You have just won the jackpot point , when crimes are committed most of the time people are given a crime number and that's your lot. No manpower to look into cases so crime goes unsolved little wounder people have lost faith in our justice system.

Damn site easier to report it nowadays when nearly everyone carries a mobile than 20 years ago when you'd have had to find go home or find a phone box.

With the tragic road rage death in Sussex that is truly shocking, do we need more tougher laws on this and how would they be implemented? . Iv seen road rage a few times over the years but never on this scale , it seems some people who get behide a car wheel have a charge of personality and the slightest thing bang the fists are out.

The guy is being charged with murder, can it be much tougher than that?

Don't know about road rage but willingness to kill a fellow man for trivial things seems to be on the increase

Compared to the good old days, when people could duel on the common with rapiers and kill each other over an insult...

So then what evidence could we base supposition about it being more common on?

Is there a reason to believe that the level of reporting has fallen? Or is it likely that it was always only reported for the most serious instances? If it's the latter, then the police numbers will still tell us if it's increasing or not.

Its time for a rethink on murder, the death plenty should be brought back, O' wait the do gooders would come out in force demanding rights for the murderer. But what if it was one of their family or children who was murdered would they still sing that song?

That is what the law is there for - give an impartial view on crime. It is there to stop revenge. I am in agreement with you about the dogooders being a problem on many things.

Maybe death penalty is a bit strong, maybe word it as "chosen to donate organs to sufferers of long term illnesses" Should be good for the good dogooders

Yes, we'd all be much better off if instead of good, we dedicate our spare time to doing evil. Obviously.

The problem with this is nothing to do with how it's inherently wrong and would result in the death of innocent people. (Sorry, that's probably doing good, worrying about innocent people being executed). But if instead of just spouting off we actually look at the evidence, we realise that it's entirely ineffective.

I'm sure you're going to argue the point though, because instead of look at the evidence, you'd rather guess.
