Drivers warned road rage offences could lead to a fine of up to £1,000

Drivers who shout and swear at other road users could be fined £1,000 because of the road rage. Motorists are being warned to think twice about using erratic hand gestures as they could leave drivers facing the hefty penalty for losing control of their vehicle.

There are many driving laws that need to be adhered to by motorists - and they’re consistently being updated. But it's a driver's responsibility to be aware of the laws to avoid any repercussions or danger to other road users, reports Devon Live.

With this in mind, price comparison website Confused.com has highlighted the potentially unknown offence that could cost drivers a lot of money. It's not only the initial fine that's expensive, but car insurance premiums are also likely to increase for motorists with points on their licence.
