Aggressive Driving Should be Avoided

Aggressive driving is a phenomenon, which has only got the public worried. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Council (NHTSC) defines aggressive driving as the “operation of a motor
vehicle in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger persons or property”. Actions such as
running red lights, improper passing, overtaking on the left, improper lane change, failing to
yield, improper turns, running stop signs, tail gaiting, careless driving, and speeding are
examples of aggressive driving. Such actions are dangerous to other road users. Aggressive
driving should be avoided because it causes crashes, injuries, and fatalities. The first reason why
aggressive driving should be avoided is it causes crashes. According to NHTSC between 78
percent (excessive speed) and (100 percent improper passing) of the cases of aggressive driving
resulted in traffic crashes and 96 percent of the drivers cited for “following too closely” or tail
gaiting caused crashes because of their aggressive driving. Moreover, ‘running red light,”
“improper passing”, and “overtaking on the left” topped other categories of aggressive driving in
contributing to traffic crashes.
Another reason why aggressive driving should be avoided is it causes injuries. NHTSC states
that the percentages of the injuries caused by aggressive driving are, in almost all categories of
aggressive driving, above 100 percent.
Aggressive driving also causes fatalities.” Overtaking on the left” appears to be the most
important contributing factor in traffic fatalities as it relates to aggressive driving. “Improper lane
change,” “running stop sign,” and “running red light” rank second through four in terms of their
contribution to traffic fatalities.

The above evidence shows that aggressive driving causes crash, injuries, and fatalities.
Hence, aggressive driving should be avoided. Since the opening on the North-South Highway, the
number of kilometers of roads in the country has increased by one percent while the number of
vehicle miles driven has increased by 35 percent. More cars and more drivers are also on the
road leading to more aggressive drivers.
