self-centered driving habits. Drivers often commit multiple violations,
including: driving over the posted speed limit, following too closely, erratic
or unsafe lane changes, improperly signaling lane changes, and failure to
obey traffic control devices. Because of these driving behaviors, hundreds
of deaths and thousands of injuries occur each year, and contribute to the
growing problems of hazardous traffic conditions and those criminal acts
related to aggressive driving.
