People always seem surprised when they see “crazy drivers,” even though it’s the SAME STORY every day. Well, this explains it.
According to a new survey from Triple-A, 96% of American drivers admit to performing at least one aggressive driving behavior in the past year.
That’s stuff like: Running red lights, speeding, tailgating, honking, and cutting off other vehicles on the road.
The data shows that “cutting off other vehicles” and “honking out of anger” is UP from back in 2016, while “tailgating” and “yelling at other drivers” is DOWN.
11% of drivers in the study say they’ve also engaged in “violent actions,” like intentionally bumping into another car, or confronting another driver.
The study found people under 60, and people with household incomes of $100,000 or more, are most likely to drive aggressively. (And chances are, they’re also driving a Tesla or Ram truck.)
