Road Rage Statistics

According to the AAA, road rage, characterized by aggressive driving, is a factor in more than half of all fatal car accidents. According to a separate year-long study, road rage incidents led to approximately 30 deaths and 1,800 injuries per year.

According to Everytown Research & Policy, the number of road rage injuries and deaths has increased every year since 2018.

A person was shot and either injured or killed in a road rage incident every 18 hours on average in 2021. The average number of people shot, killed, or injured in road rage events has nearly doubled last year.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety recommends numerous actions that people can take to avoid becoming involved in a road rage incident. If another driver is screaming or gesticulating, it is preferable to ignore them and avoid a confrontation. If you have enraged another driver, you should try to avoid them because an enraged driver can burst at any time.

Never, ever pull over to the side of the road. Fall back and establish a considerable amount of space between your vehicle and the angry driver’s car, then get out of the area as quickly as possible.
