* It appears that road rage is far more common than experts had expected and is not confined to the road. Almost 16 million Americans are inflicted with a disorder that prompts them to erupt in shouting or screaming, and violent outbursts sometimes at the mildest provocation.

* EID is regarded “as a pattern of explosive outbursts in response to everyday frustrations which can lead to injury to other people and property, revenge, and domestic abuse” says Michael McClusky, PhD in the New Scientist. "They often say that their anger goes from 0 to 100."
