# Conflict and dispute specialist André Vlok says violence on the roads often begins long before incidents unfold, driven by frustration, anxiety, and fear. He warns poor conflict resolution skills are contributing to a growing culture of aggression where minor disputes can quickly turn deadly. Vlok says the Emmarentia roadrage incident in Johannesburg which claimed a man’s life reflects a wider societal problem rather than an isolated case. He urges motorists to manage emotions and de-escalate situations. Vlok says small acts of calm can help prevent violent confrontations.
