Reckless Driving Accident Statistics

Inconsiderate and reckless drivers endanger everyone around them. You won’t accidentally kill anyone innocent while driving recklessly. As a result, drivers need to pay for any damage they cause on the road.

In America, aggressive driving is a leading cause of traffic accidents, incidents of road rage, and tragic loss of life. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration defines aggressive driving as the willful and wanton disregard for other drivers’ safety or property (NHTSA).

From 2003 to 2007, aggressive driving was cited as a factor in 56% of fatal crashes, according to a study conducted by AAA in 2009. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Fatal Accident Reporting System found that speeding was the primary cause of automobile accident deaths. Distracted driving is against the law in California and is extremely risky.

Drunk driving is synonymous with careless driving and reckless driving. The likelihood of a severe car crash increases no matter what you label it. In 2016, 3,623 people were killed in California car accidents, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported. (NHTSA).
