Aggressive driving is a form of automobile operation in which an operator will deliberately behave with contempt towards other drivers and drive in such a manner as to increase the risk of an automobile accident.
Aggressive driving can lead to serious crimes, such as manslaughter or murder. An aggressive driver may drive so recklessly as to injure or kill another driver or himself.
The NHTSA defines aggressive driving as a progression of unlawful driving actions such as:
- Speeding – exceeding the posted limit or driving too fast for conditions
- Improper or excessive lane changing: failing to signal intent, failing to see that movement can be made safely
- Improper passing – failing to signal intent, using an emergency lane to pass, or passing on the shoulder
