New York Traffic Accidents and Aggressive Driving

Approximately 6.8 million car crashes occur each year in the United States. Many are caused by aggressive driving. NHTSA defines aggressive driving as “the operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that endangers other persons or property.”

We all know how it feels to be placed in danger by an impatient, angry or aggressive driver. More than 60 percent of motorists consider unsafe driving by others — including speeding — to be a major threat to their personal safety, according to a survey by NHTSA. One-third said they had felt threatened within the past month.

Examples of aggressive driving include:

Aggressive drivers are more likely to drive after drinking or taking drugs, and they also tend to drive without buckling their seatbelts.

Victims of Aggressive Driving

The number of drivers on the road is increasing — and so are traffic jams and delays. An estimated 91 percent of people drive to work. Commuters in Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens spend more than 40 hours a year in stalled traffic.

Sometimes, patience grows thin and tempers flare. More than half of those surveyed by NHTSA admitted to driving aggressively on occasion.
