Road Rage Statistics

According to the AAA, road rage, defined as aggressive driving, is a factor in more than half of all fatal car accidents. A separate year-long study found that road rage episodes resulted in around 30 deaths and 1,800 injuries every year.

Every year since 2018, the number of road rage injuries and deaths has climbed, according to Everytown Research & Policy.

Every 18 hours in 2021, a person was shot and either injured or killed in a road rage incident. Last year, the average number of persons shot, killed, or injured in road rage incidents nearly doubled.

Even while you are not responsible for the actions of other drivers, it is prudent to avoid inflaming an already unpleasant situation whenever feasible. If you are the target of road rage, you should first make sure your doors are secured and you have enough distance to get away if necessary.

If you believe you are in danger, drive to the nearest police station or have a passenger contact 911.
