Incidents of Aggressive Driving
Deaths and Injuries
"Aggressive driving" is defined for this study as an incident in which an angry or
impatient motorist or passenger intentionally injures or kills another motorist,
passenger, or pedestrian, or attempts to injure or kill another motorist,
passenger, or pedestrian, in response to a traffic dispute, altercation, or
grievance. It is also considered "aggressive driving" when an angry or vengeful
motorist intentionally drives his or her vehicle into a building or other structure or
property.
From January 1990 to September 1, 1996, a period of 6 years and 8 months,
there were at least 10,037 incidents of aggressive driving in the United States
that were reported to Mizell and Company, International Security.1
At least 218 men, women, and children are known to have been murdered and
12,610 people injured as a result of these 10,037 incidents. (Aggressive driving
incidents often result in more than one person being injured or killed.) The 12,610
injuries include scores of cases in which people suffered paralysis, brain
damage, amputation, and other seriously disabling injuries.
The number of aggressive driving cases reported to Mizell & Company has
increased every year since 1990. While some of this apparent increase may be
caused by the variation in sources and increased awareness and therefore
increased reporting of such incidents, such variation is almost certainly not
significant. Mizell & Company consulted 30 major newspapers, reports from 16
police departments, and insurance company claim reports to construct the
database for this study.
The breakdown of known incidents of aggressive driving that occurred from
January 1, 1990 to September 1, 1996 is as follows:
1990 1,129
