NBC 10 I-Team: Defense against road rage

The AAA Foundation conducts a traffic safety culture index, which includes specific questions about aggressive driving and road rage.

95 million drivers admit to yelling at another driver. 91 million say they’ve honked their horn. 67 million drivers admit to making angry gestures, while 49 million say they’ve tried to block another driver from changing lanes.

“So many, unfortunately, view driving as a competition, a timed competition, how many car lengths can I get in front of that other vehicle,” said Imondi, who added that drivers in the northeast have experienced even higher percentages.
