The following are among the most frequently reported triggers:
Tailgating
Being cut up
Drivers pushing into queues
Mobile phone use while driving
Undertaking
Sudden lane changes on motorways (“swooping”)
Excessive or excessively slow speeds
Littering from vehicles
Middle-lane hogging
Triggers are often perceived as personal, even when they are not, which contributes to the emotional response.
