ATLANTA – Georgia drivers are among the most aggressive in the country according to a study conducted by GasBuddy.
According to the popular app that helps drivers find cheap gasoline, California has the most aggressive drivers followed by Connecticut then Georgia.
“Our findings indicate that states with densely populated cities and high levels of congestion are where motorists are more inclined to drive aggressively,” according to GasBuddy’s Patrick DeHaan. “With gas prices expected to continue to rise well into the summer months, simply being aware of how you drive can dramatically lower fuel costs, prevent damages to your vehicle, and make the roads safer for everyone.”
GasBuddy bases its findings on data collected from it’s new “My Trips” feature that measures poor driving behavior. Drivers using the feature are told when they’re speeding, braking too hard, or accelerating too quickly. The rankings were made after an examination of data collected since December of last year.
The top ten states with the most aggressive drivers are:
- California
- Connecticut
- Georgia
- Texas
- North Carolina
- New Jersey
- Delaware
- Florida
- Kentucky
- Arizona
