According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, aggressive driving accounts for more than half of all traffic fatalities. In a AAA study, eight out of 10 drivers agree that aggressive driving is a “serious” or “extremely serious” risk that jeopardizes their safety, and yet aggressive driving is something that most drivers have exhibited themselves at least once.
Examples of aggressive driving behavior include:
- Speeding or racing
- Unsafe merging
- Running stop signs and red lights
- Tailgating
- Cutting off another driver on purpose
- Blocking another vehicle from changing lanes
- Honking or making angry gestures
- Yelling at another driver
Unfortunately, many drivers regularly engage in these driving behaviors, presenting a serious threat to the safety of our roads and highways. Speeding is one of the most common forms of aggressive driving, accounting for more than one-third of fatal accidents.
