Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions based on it:

Road rage is behavior displayed by a driver of an automobile or other motor vehicle which causes collisions, incidents, gestures, sometimes death on roadways. It can be thought of as an extreme case of aggressive driving. The origins of the phrase can be traced back to when it appeared in an article in the Los Angeles Times. An example of its use in print in 1988 can be found in an article from Florida's St. Petersburg. Times, which reads: "A fit of 'road rage' has landed a man in jail, accused of shooting a woman passenger... [whose] car had 'cut him off on the highway." Road rage is a relatively serious act. It may be seen as an endangerment of public safety. It is, however, not always possible to judge intent by external observation, so "road ragers" who are stopped by police may be charged only with relatively minor offences such as careless or reckless driving. It is likely that those causing serious injury or death during "road rage" incidents will suffer more serious penalties than those applicable to similar outcomes from simple negligence.
