\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFlorida drivers are facing a growing issue with aggressive driving, as a new study by the Grigor Law Firm reports the state experienced the second-largest year-over-year increase in fatal road rage crashes from 2023 to 2024. “If you leave space, you never really have to be panicked,” one driver said. Drivers at a rest stop along I-4 expressed concerns about the prevalence of aggressive driving. “They go from the left to the right to the middle to the left to the right, always just trying to get in front of everybody and worming their way in,” one traveler said. “People are in a rush to go nowhere, you know? You’ve just got to slow down,” another driver said. AAA reports that more than 72 million Americans are traveling this July Fourth, with over 61 million choosing to drive. The study ranks Florida as the 10th most dangerous state for aggressive driving, factoring in speeding and crashes tied to speeding. In AAA’s ranking of the most popular domestic travel destinations for the holiday weekend, three out of 10 cities are in Florida, with Orlando ranking second in the country. The organization is urging drivers to slow down. “You can’t be in a rush; you just have to follow the rules and do the best,” one driver said.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
