👊🏽 Survey Reveals U.S. States with the Highest Road Rage Incidents.
A recent study conducted by Forbes Advisor has identified Arizona as the state with the highest incidence of confrontational drivers in the United States. The study, which surveyed 10,000 licensed drivers, utilized nine key metrics to assess road rage trends. Delaware, on the other hand, was found to have the most polite drivers in the nation. Notably, five of the top 10 states with the most confrontational drivers were located in the South, including West Virginia, Virginia, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Texas. Conversely, four of the top 10 states with the most polite drivers were situated in the Pacific and West regions, comprising Idaho, Wyoming, Washington, and New Mexico. The study also revealed that road rage incidents were most commonly reported on city streets (29.18%), followed by freeways or highways (26.59%), and in parking lots (14.9%). The leading causes of road rage included heavy traffic (39.35%), pre-existing stress (38.06%), being late (33.89%), existing anger (32.49%), and fatigue (26.86%).
