English term or phrase: the less mayhem zone
Jag översätter en riskcoach för en webbplats som ska användas för att förändra bilförares attityder med hjälp av enkla flervalsfrågor, och då står det så här:

Research by Dr. Leon James at the University of Hawaii revealed five levels of aggressive driving:
THE UNFRIENDLY ZONE.
This is just the beginning.
...
THE LESS MAYHEM ZONE.
An example of this fourth step would be pursuing another driver in a chase because of provocation or insult.
THE MAJOR MAYHEM ZONE.
In this final step, the driver would go as far as getting out of the car and beating or battering someone as a result of a road exchange.

Enligt exemplet som ges kan man inte översätta enligt ordet Mayhems exakta betydelse. Jag tror det finns någon lagterm som skulle passa bra, men kommer inte på vad det är. Det betyder ungefär att man uppträder störande. Någon som vet?

mindre kalabalikzonen


Explanation:
Tror nog att "less" här lika väl kunde vara "lesser" - alltså mindre el liknande.

Sen kunde man säga "större kalabalikzonen" för sista nivån.
