AAA Survey shows Men Are More Aggressive Behind the Wheel
December 12, 2020 | 
Nashville, TN – Data gathered by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety confirms the perception that men tend to speed, tailgate, merge dangerously, and make rude gestures or honk at other drivers more than women.
The survey finds that women also admit to some dangerous driving habits, such as running red lights. Overall, younger male and female drivers tend to be more aggressive than older drivers. With everyday stress already compounded by the pandemic and now the holiday season, which can elevate tensions on the road, AAA urges motorists to keep their cool and avoid dangerous driving habits.

Dodging the Roadkill: Anger Management
Clarksville, TN – I’m old enough to remember that when you hit the highway, it was pretty common to wave at the car next to you. If you passed them, or pulled up beside them in traffic, you would glance their way and acknowledge them.
Now, you might get shot.
Road rage has become so common you never know if the next guy you honk your horn at will be that one “psycho” who climbs out of the car with a baseball bat and starts swinging for the fences. Or worse yet, pulls a gun to make his point.
Seriously people, what’s the deal?

Dodging the Roadkill: Life In The Left Lane
Clarksville, TN – I think we can all agree that one of THE most frustrating things about being on the interstate, is getting stuck behind someone holding up traffic in the left lane.
These drivers seem oblivious to their surroundings, or just flat out don’t care, or just don’t know any better. It’s dangerous, rude and irresponsible.
Oh, and it’s frustrating too.
I’ve been driving a long time and I certainly don’t remember it being this way when I was younger, and I can’t seem to understand why it’s so prevalent now.

Dodging the Roadkill: Life In The Left Lane
Clarksville, TN – I don’t know what it is about the left lane that people LOVE so much. It doesn’t matter where I travel, they seem to be everywhere. You know, the ones who think they own the left lane, or don’t care that they’re holding up traffic, or just flat out want to make life miserable for the rest of us.
Maybe we’re just more sensitive to it, or maybe we all have a bit of “road rage” in us that needs to get out, or maybe, JUST MAYBE, we know it’s the passing lane and your ass is in the way! But at the end of the day, it’s dangerous and I wish people would realize that!

Dodging the Roadkill: The Battle Is Real – Bikers vs Cagers
Clarksville, TN – The battle lines were drawn many years ago. Motorcycles and cars.
Who owns the road?
Well, nobody “owns” the road, and we need to show each other some respect. And that’s the rub! For whatever reason, we just don’t seem to like each other.
Before I owned a motorcycle, I must admit, motorcycles intimidated me. If I saw them approaching me from behind, I got the HELL out of the way. It was almost like an “uh oh, here they come” moment.
Not all motorists like or respect motorcycles. A lot of them just flat out hate them and will do whatever it takes to make their life miserable. Hence the ongoing battle between the two, and the conflict can result in tragedy.
