Participants said they witnessed more aggressive honking of horns, tailgating, bad hand gestures, high speed and other forms of road rage in New York than anywhere else. American Auto Association data appears to back up the rising road rage trend which shows that over 50 percent of auto accident fatalities involve hot-headed, aggressive drivers that tend to take the lives of other drivers as well as pedestrians, motorcyclists and bicyclists.
