Study Shows Montana Drivers Love Confrontation

The frequency of aggressive road rage occurrences is experiencing a notable bump across the entire country.

Evidently, Montana is among some of the worst.

According to an article and study I found on Forbes, in 2022, there was a staggering 135% surge in road rage shooting incidents, resulting in 413 injuries, compared to the statistics in 2018.

Certain states exhibit a higher prevalence of aggressive driving behavior, significantly increasing drivers' vulnerability whenever they embark on their journeys.

Forbes Advisor undertook a comprehensive survey involving 10,000 licensed drivers to classify the states with the highest concentration of confrontational drivers.

This study encompassed an analysis of nine critical metrics, allowing for a thorough comparison of all 50 states.

The State With The Most Confrontational Drivers

Arizona's score: 100 out of 100

The Grand Canyon State ranked second worst for the percentage of drivers who have been forced off the road (22.5%) and tied with Oklahoma for having the third-highest percentage of drivers who have been tailgated (70.5%).
31.5% of Arizona drivers reported that another driver had exited their vehicle to yell at or fight with them, the fifth highest amount in the nation.
Additionally, Arizona ranks sixth worst for drivers who experience road rage very frequently in their home state (31.5%) and drivers who have been yelled at, insulted, cursed at or threatened by another driver (81%).
