He is particularly keen to hear from anyone with dash-cam footage.

There is no specific offence or road rage, but it is a term used to describe aggressive or angry behaviour by a driver.

It can include rude gestures, verbal insults, physical threats, criminal damage and dangerous driving, all of which may be designed to intimidate the other driver or release pent-up frustration.

While not technically against the law, it can lead to driving that is punishable with a serious conviction.
