Statistics show that road rage is responsible for almost one in three car accidents in the United States. While speeding and changing lanes abruptly without signaling are dangerous forms of road rage, tailgating is perhaps the type of road rage that can easily turn catastrophic. If a car driver on the road stops all of a sudden, tailgaters who are following too close behind this car will probably slam into the rear of the in-front vehicle.

Whether this hazardous driving pattern is due to ignorance or impatience or trying to make up for a lost time, tailgating accidents in New York can lead to serious injuries.
