Washington in Top 10 for road rage
Driving can be infuriating. Someone tailgates you, swerves in front of you, or won’t let you in when you need to change lanes. Traffic grinds to a halt on the highway when you’re already late for work. One guy’s blinker is still flashing incessantly five minutes after he turned, yet other drivers won’t use their blinkers at all. Are you feeling hot under the collar yet? According to data from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), the number of fatal accidents caused by road rage or aggressive driving has risen dramatically since 2004. And these numbers don’t even take into account non-deadly accidents or other less serious (yet still scary) incidents/ Auto Insurance . More here.
If you look at the map in the link above, you’ll find:
- Washington is ranked No. 10 in Road Rage incidents
- Idaho barely registers as a source for Road Rage.
Question: Have you been involved in a Road Rage incident this year? Care to describe it?
