One-in-five drivers on the road following the pandemic report more frustration while driving compared to before. The study by Zebra, an online insurance site, says distracted drivers are the number one cause of frustration, followed by lack of turn signal use, being tail-gated and getting cut off. Michigan State Police Lieutenant Mike Shaw spoke with Michigan News Network.
“If you’re the party that’s upset, let it go,” Shaw said. “There’s not that much important stuff going on out there that you need to get so upset about somebody’s driving. I’m sure that you’ve made some driving errors in the past, as all of us have.”
Shaw says people lately are just angry and while there is no specific data on why. The study reports 95% of its’ participants observed road rage or aggressive driving in the past year.
