Most Common Traffic Violations In 2002, the National Highway Safety Administration (NHSA) conducted a study on the driving-age public's attitudes and behaviors about speeding and unsafe or aggressive driving. In that survey, a nationally representative sample of drivers ages 16 and older were asked about their views on driving as well as what traffic laws they violated most frequently. Speeding Speeding was the most frequently reported traffic violation, with 75 percent of survey takers claiming that they had speed on all types of roads within the previous month. Eighty percent of younger drivers reported speeding monthly on all types of roads, compared to 60 percent of drivers ages 65 and older. Therefore, speeding is clearly not just a problem of youth. The survey also reported that men are 50 times more likely to speed than women. Second and Third Two other traffic violations also are ranked highly in the survey. Forty percent of surveyed drivers reported that they "at least sometimes" entered an intersection just as the light turned from yellow to red autel maxisys mini. Thirty percent reported that they made rolling stops at stop signs "at least sometimes," as well. Both of these violations are dangerous because they put the driver at a risk of being hit by another vehicle traveling at a perpendicular angle. Fourth and Fifth The next two most highly reported traffic violations do not near the percentages of the first three; however, the numbers were still significant enough that the National Highway Safety Administration reported them in its findings. Twelve percent of drivers reported making insulting, obscene or angry gestures towards another driver, and 10 percent of drivers reported cutting in front of other drivers. Both of these actions were categorized as occurring "at least sometimes." Younger Drivers Drivers under the age of 21 are more likely to engage in some of these behaviors than older drivers autel maxidiag elite md802 update. Twenty nine percent of drivers in this age group reported cutting in front of other drivers, and 24 percent reported being hostile towards other drivers. Furthermore, 17 percent of drivers in this age group reported that they would drive on the shoulder in order to pass other cars if they were sitting in heavy traffic.
