Florida Personal Injury Insights

Get educated on the Florida's personal injury laws and more.

Florida has more cases of road rage than any other state, including larger and more populated states than our own. Not only does Florida lead the nation in road rage incidents, but there are also more road rage incidents involving guns than any other state.

Population in some Florida areas is definitely a factor. Studies prove that as the population increases, impulsive and aggressive acts increase as well. Some common signs of road rage include:

• Tailgating another driver
• Honking to express frustration or anger
• Yelling at other drivers
• Blocking another vehicle from changing lanes
• Cutting off another vehicle
• Intentionally bumping or hitting another vehicle
• Abrupt braking

Safety Tips for Dealing With Aggressive Drivers

Frustration behind the wheel is nothing unusual. There will always be drivers who are tired, impatient, anxious, or perturbed about something, whether related to the commute or not.

Although you can’t help what another driver is feeling, there are a few ways to stay safe from frustrated or angry drivers on the road:

• Steer clear of erratic drivers
• Stay calm
• Avoid eye contact with an aggressive driver
• If another driver is attempting to pass you, do not remain in the left lane
• Do not challenge an aggressive driver
• Don’t take their behavior personally
• Do not be afraid to report road rage to the police

Remember: don’t encourage aggressive driving by driving aggressively yourself. The dangers of road rage far outweigh the momentary satisfaction of retaliating against an aggressive driver.

Texting While Driving – Is it a Bigger Problem than Drinking and Driving?

It is illegal to text and drive in Florida. The Pinellas County Sheriff or the St. Petersburg Police are perfectly willing to give tickets, but thus it seems that more people have caused an accident by texting than ticketed prior to an accident. In my opinion, the law is deficient because it allows for too […]
