There is not a criminal offense called road rage in most states, but there are criminal offenses for the aggressive, reckless driving motivated by anger, rage, and frustration that often leads to motor vehicle accidents and dangerous or deadly confrontations between drivers in road rage incidents. Aggressive driving behavior may also lead to traffic tickets and driver’s license suspensions for related offenses such as speeding, reckless driving, tailgating, lane blocking, illegal passing, racing, and assault with a deadly weapon (motor vehicle). And some states have passed laws that include significant fines and potential jail or prison time for such reckless driving.

In Wyoming, while there is no specific criminal offense termed 'road rage,' behaviors typically associated with road rage can lead to criminal charges under various traffic and criminal statutes. Aggressive driving actions such as speeding, reckless driving, tailgating, and illegal passing are traffic violations that can result in citations, fines, and points on a driver's license. More severe conduct, such as racing or using a vehicle to assault another person, can lead to more serious charges, including assault with a deadly weapon. Reckless driving in Wyoming is a misdemeanor that can carry penalties including fines, imprisonment, or both. Additionally, if aggressive driving leads to an accident causing injury or death, the consequences can be even more severe, potentially including felony charges. It's important for drivers to understand that while 'road rage' is not a legal term, the actions stemming from it can have significant legal repercussions.
