Meaning:

    “路” means “road,” and “怒” means “rage.” Road rage is aggressive or angry behavior by a driver of an automobile or other road vehicle. Such behavior might include rude gestures, verbal insults, deliberately driving in an unsafe or threatening manner or making threats. Road rage can lead to altercations, assaults and collisions that result in injuries and even deaths. It can be thought of as an extreme case of aggressive driving. The term was first used on TV in the United States in 1987 and 1988, when a rash of freeway shootings occurred on freeways in Los Angeles. With more people driving on busy city roads, the term became widely known and used in China.
