Aggressive Driving Danger signals: Do you accelerate in anger? Brake in anger? Do your emotions reflect in your driving? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) defines aggressive driving as speeding, tailgating, failing to yield, weaving in and out of traffic, passing on the right, making improper and unsafe lane changes and running stop signs and red lights. By NHTSA'S estimates, 56% of all highway deaths involve aggressive driving. Aggressive driving kills thousands of people every year. The time has come for change. Let us look at ourselves, the way we drive and the price we pay for it. Let it be that unsafe driving is no longer to be tolerated. Let society, as a whole, know that no individual has the right to risk the life of others by driving aggressively. Let America's young grow old with this knowledge instead of dying due to the lack of it.
