Queensland drivers involved in road rage attacks against other motorists will spend up to five years in jail and be fined thousands of dollars under laws proposed by the Liberal National Party.
Liberal National Party leader Deb Frecklington on Sunday said road rage threatened the lives of drivers, passengers and the public.
"We have seen terrifying scenes of violence on our roads and it has to stop," she said.

Drivers who "lose their cool" and menace other road users face 18 months jail, but "predatory" drivers who chase and physically threaten others could face five years behind bars.
