Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving is the behavior of an individual who "Commits a combination of moving traffic offenses so as to endanger other persons or property." In the context of modern vehicle management, understanding and reducing aggressive driving is a key component of effective Fleet management. Prevention of aggressive driving is possible through attainable goals such as increased legal penalties against offenders, proper education for new and veteran drivers about aggressive driving, and changes in driving structures to combat road congestion. Adjustments to road infrastructure have also shown to significantly decrease aggressive driving. Curved roads and transition curves show significant decreases in aggressive behavior as drivers are forced to adapt and slow down to avoid crashing.
