The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says road rage incidents are often made up of various ticketable offences that can be reported to police.

A 22-year-old man was recently charged following an incident in July where he is accused of firing a gun in the direction of two vehicles.

RNC Constable James Cadigan says that incident goes beyond road rage and is a criminal offence.

However, he says there are other offences that people can be watching for when reporting such incidents to police.

Cadigan says that could be speeding, use of a handheld device, and driving without due care and attention.
