Level of “Road Rage” Related Driving Offences

The request was successful.

Dear North Yorkshire Police,

I am making this request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

I am attempting to find which police forces have had the most “road rage” related driving offences in the UK.

My questions are as follows:

For the calendar years 2019, 2020 and 2021 – could you please respond with:

1. The number of reported crimes which mentioned “road rage” in the MO field of the crime report and the detailed crime type.

2. The number of road traffic accidents recorded with a contributing factor of “aggressive driving” (code 601)

Yours faithfully,

Naomi Aharony
