Why does aggressive driving cause crashes?
I’ve always loved driving fast. While I try not to drive aggressively, I sometimes do it unknowingly—but I’ve never had an accident. How do aggressive drivers cause crashes?

The need for speed can lead to aggressive driving. And aggressive driving can cause crashes several ways:
- Going too fast can inhibit drivers’ ability to stop when necessary.
- Tailgating can lead to accidents and road rage.
- Erratic and unsafe lane changes can do the same.
- Failure to obey stop signs and stop lights can cause t-bone accidents at intersections.
- Failure to yield the right of way could harm pedestrians or cyclists.
- Passing illegally may lead to head-on collisions.
So even if you love to drive fast, avoid the temptation to drive aggressively. Instead,
commit to driving safely
