Speeding, weaving, cutting off other drivers, and other angry behavior from behind the wheel are on the rise on Long Island roads and nationwide, according to a AAA study that shows a major uptick in aggressive driving and local law enforcement.

In what may come as little surprise to Long Island drivers, 96% of those surveyed admitted to aggressive driving behavior in a nationwide study that surveyed about 3,000 drivers and focus groups.

"It’s terrible and absolutely terrifying driving here, especially on the Southern State. It's like a war zone out there," said one Long Islander interviewed, Kathy Owens, of Massapequa. "People are not friendly. They think they have to get somewhere and I let them go around. People are very aggressive and pretty mean."
