Road Rage Accident Statistics

Approximately 30 fatalities have been linked to situations that began with road rage across the country. Since 2007, the American Automobile Association (AAA) has linked more than 12,500 injuries to driver violence in 10,000 car accidents. The majority of road rage-related deaths have been deemed intentional homicides.

According to research acquired by the Insurance Information Institute (iii), approximately 80% of drivers reported significant hatred, violence, or road rage in the previous 30 days while driving in 2019.

Road rage is to blame for approximately one-third of all accidents. When drivers act carelessly or violently behind the wheel, the lives of innocent onlookers are compromised.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety suggests several precautions that people can take to prevent becoming engaged in a road rage incident. If another motorist is ranting or gesticulating, it is best to ignore them and avoid getting into a confrontation. If you have enraged another motorist, you should strive to avoid them since an enraged driver can explode at any time.

Never stop on the side of the road. Try to fall back and create a significant amount of distance between your vehicle and the enraged driver’s car, and then get out of the area as quickly as possible.
