Get Paid to Road Rage

(VehicleFreak.com) Do you often get angry while driving and find yourself being spun into a fit of road rage? No judgment. It’s OK. You can admit it. According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, 80% of us deal with road rage. And while road rage can often lead to some awful outcomes, like injuries, deaths, or jail, it can now lead to some cold, hard cash — thanks to VehicleFreak.com.

The automotive website is offering road ragers $4,000 to be part of a driving behavior study to “highlight the ways in which drivers can both combat their own road rage, and deal with other agitated drivers.”

Applications are now being accepted through October 31st at VehicleFreak.com. Those chosen will be required to complete three, three-hour driving sessions per week, with their reactions monitored by their heart rate and blood pressure.
