Roads are getting more dangerous

As a driver you have probably experienced that driving on our roads is getting dangerous.

Have you experienced:

• Angry gestures & yelling
• Aggressive honking
• One vehicle chasing another
• A driver leaving their car to confront someone
• A vehicle trying to stop another vehicle
• An altercation involving a weapon
• A driver physically attacking someone
• A confrontation involving a gun
• Someone firing a gun

According to a survey conducted by Policygenius in 2022, 70% of US drivers have witnessed some form of road rage during the past year.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration offers the following advice for dealing with dangerously aggressive drivers:

• If you are in the left lane and someone wants to pass, move over and let them by.
• Give speeding drivers plenty of space. Speeding drivers may lose control of their vehicle more easily.
• Adjust your driving accordingly. Speeding is tied to aggressive driving. If a speeding driver is tailgating you or trying to engage you in risky driving, use judgment to safely steer your vehicle out of the way.
• Call the police if you believe a driver is following you or harassing you.

As you drive, follow the tips above and stay safe.
