 The biggest problem with aggressive driving is that it kills.

 Car crashes are the leading cause of accidental death and injury in the Maryland, the District of Columbia, and indeed the United States;  and the leading cause of all deaths among young people. 

 Alpha(Aggressive) driving is responsible for a significant proportion of all car crashes. In fact, aggressive drivers kill two to four times more people than drunken drivers. Alpha(Aggressive)
driving creates an atmosphere of incivility on the roads,, heightening driving anxiety and triggering more driving anger.

  Two-thirds of traffic fatalities involve behaviors commonly associated with alpha(aggressive) driving --- such as speeding, running red lights, and improperly changing lanes. One-third of all traffic injuries result from alpha(aggressive) driving. Speeding, a common element in aggressive
driving, contributes to about one-third of fatal crashes.

Several studies have shown that between 20% and 35% of drivers have honked their horns, yelled or screamed, obscenely gestured, and cursed at other drivers. Estimates indicate that from 6 % to 28% of drivers have tailgated or blocked other drivers' vehicles. All of these behaviors can be considered part of a pattern or practice of acts that constitute alpha(aggressive) driving. Further, these behaviors can also provoke anger that could lead to alpha(aggressive) driving in others.
