A new study found half of us engage in at least one form of road rage. But one group of people is even more likely to do it...parents.

53% of people with kids under 18 have road rage, compared to 46% of people without kids. And even for people with kids over 18, it's 49%.

56% of Americans think that driving angry is justified, at least sometimes. Men were more likely to agree than women, and people in western states are the most likely to agree with that.

Here are the top road rage things we're most likely to do:

1. Shouting, or laying on your horn? 25% have done it in the past two years.

2. A criticizing or threatening gesture, like giving someone the finger? 24%.

3. Tailgating someone on purpose, or just to annoy them? 12%.

4. Cutting someone off, or blocking them from merging? Also 12%.

5. CHASING another driver, 5% have done it in the past two years.

6. Getting out of your car to confront someone. Also 5%.
