Poll: 2.67 million Canadians drive aggressively

A new survey suggests almost 3 million Canadians were guilty of aggressive driving last year, while more than a quarter of a million took risks behind the wheel "just for the fun of it."

The poll was conducted by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) and sponsored in part by Transport Canada.

"Aggressive driving is a broad issue that includes behaviours like excessive speeding, running red lights, honking the horn, taking risks for fun while driving, and, in the extreme, physical violence," Ward Vanlaar, a research associate for TIRF, said in a press release Tuesday.

The report, based on interviews from 2006, said 12 per cent of drivers admitted to "frequently driving well over the speed limit," which corresponds to about 2.67 million Canadians on the road.
