Road rage is on the rise 🚙😡

We’re all on edge these days…particularly behind the wheel.

A new survey in PR Newswire shows there’s a lot of “road rage” including:

  • 34% of people have honked at someone for driving too slow
  • 32% admit they’ve given another driver the “Number One” sign
  • 18% have tailgated someone
  • 12% have cut in front of a bunch of people waiting to merge
  • 8% CHASED DOWN a driver to make sure they knew they were “Number One”
  • 7% have stolen a parking spot from someone who was waiting
  • 7% have driven in the shoulder to get around traffic
  • 7% have dinged someone’s car in a lot and drove way
  • 4% have keyed a car 😳 

Maybe we should “fly the friendly skies” instead! ✈
