The Insurance Information Institute (III) explains that aggressive driving is a huge factor in car crashes throughout the United States every year. As defined by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), aggressive driving is committing a number of traffic offenses in a manner that endangers other people or property. This definition is very broad, and as such may include acts such as the following:

• Improper following/following too closely;
• Improper or erratic lane change;
• Illegal driving on the shoulder of a roadway;
• Passing where illegal;
• Operating a vehicle in a reckless manner;
• Racing;
• Driving too fast for conditions;
• Making an illegal turn;
• Intentionally cutting off another driver;
• Failing to signal;
• Failing to yield; and
• Intentionally disregarding traffic signs or other traffic laws.

Of the above, speeding/driving at an unsafe speed for conditions is one of the most dangerous. To be sure, speeding has been named a leading cause of accidents, although data shows that top causes also include failing to yield, operating a vehicle in a careless manner, and making an improper turn.
