EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Recently, there seems to be an alarming surge in road rage incidents. While 
not all ends in fatality, reported incidents involved cursing and using foul language, 
throwing verbal insults, threats and intimidation at other parties, physically 
attacking or attempting to attack, some with use of firearms, reckless driving, and 
the likes. 
Last year, House Bill No. 8991 or the proposed Anti-Road Rage Act of 2023, 
was filed to address the growing number of road rage incidents and impose stiffer 
penalties. Unfortunately, it has yet to pass into a law. 
The road rage killing in Makati City early this week further stressed the 
importance of enacting pending measures to penalize aggressive and violent 
behavior of motorists on the road 
San Jose del Monte City Rep. Florida Robes recently filed House Bill (HB) No. 
1511, or the Anti-Road Rage Act, which defines road rage as “any aggressive, hostile 
or violent behavior in traffic or on the road by a motorist which may include mild 
to moderate screaming, wild gesturing at others, cursing or using bad language, 
physical attack at another or an attempt thereof, reckless driving, any kinds of 
threat or intimidation, any use of force against another person and other analogous 
circumstances.”  
In order to prevent future senseless road incidents caused by violent motorists, 
the passage of this measure is urged.
