Long Island drivers tell News 12 they’re noticing increasingly short tempers on the roadways.
Roky Dabney, of Bay Shore, said he experiences "so much road rage" and stressed that it must stop.
"Everybody gets angry. You get one honk and then it turns to a million and then it turns to people rolling down their windows, screaming at each other, cursing," he says.
We’re seeing an alarming level of road rage and this was true before the pandemic, but it seems to have only accelerated since then," says Alec Slatky, spokesperson for AAA Northeast. "Aggressive driving is up and all sorts of bad behavior are up on the roads. You have reasons to be annoyed, there’s no doubt about that, but you can’t let it progress into something that’s a dangerous situation.”
