Aggressive Driving Overtakes the Streets and Highways

« Back to Blog

Are you an aggressive driver?

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that aggressive driving has become a serious problem. It’s more than just running people off the road or having some sort of altercation. Speeding, tailgating, erratically changing lanes, passing in a no-passing zone, are all examples of aggressive driving, and such behavior can increase the chances of accidents and fatalities.

According to the NHTSA, aggressive driving occurs when “an individual commits a combination of moving traffic offenses so as to endanger other persons or property” (https://www.nhtsa.gov/Aggressive). Reckless behavior, failing to yield or obey traffic signs and signals, driving on the shoulder, and not signaling are additional behaviors cited by the NHTSA as aggressive driving.

Promoting defensive or cautious driving within families, among employees, and to insured clients not only protects lives, but saves money lost in collision damages, cost of injury treatment and lost time and productivity from injuries and claim management.
