--FILE--A Chinese police officer tries to separate two drivers fighting in road rage during a traffic conflict in Nanchang city, east China's Jiangxi province, 23 January 2014. Road rage, a term that originated in the U.S. in the late 1980s to describe often-violent anger behind the wheel, is now becoming a serious problem in China, the world's most populous country and the No.1 car market. So far this year, Chinese traffic police have handled more than 17 million cases of road rage, a 2.8% increase from 2014, the Ministry of Public Security said Wednesday (2 December 2015). They include behavior such as cutting off other drivers, close tailgating and sudden accelerating and braking, said the announcement, which comes on China's National Traffic Safety Day. Chinese police attributed 80, 200 traffic accidents in 2013 to road rage, and the number rose by 2.4% in 2014. Men account for 97% of road rage incidents, official data show. China is a notoriously dangerous place for driving in general. The World Health Organization has estimated that 261, 000 people died on China's roads in 2013.
