Arizona has been ranked as the 14th worst state for road rage, according to new data from Forbes Advisor, a trend that may not surprise drivers in southern Arizona.'There is a lot of road rage. They get mad if you’re not going fast enough,' said Noreene Walker. 'Drive defensively and carefully, and don’t try to push people off the road.'Metro Tucson has witnessed several fatal road rage incidents this year.
Darren Wright with the Oro Valley Police Department attributes road rage to a 'lack of patience' and people being 'in a rush to get everywhere.'The Forbes study reported that 36 percent of Arizona drivers have been blocked from merging or switching lanes, 42 percent have been purposely cut off, and 59 percent have been tailgated.'Disengage, that’s the biggest thing,' Wright advised.
