Traffic deaths surged during the pandemic, despite fewer cars on the road. A new study from AAA found an increase in reckless drivers on the roads may be to blame.
The study, conducted in fall of 2020, found an estimated 4% of drivers in the United States reported they increased their driving during the pandemic. Those drivers tended to be younger and mostly male, AAA said.
The average daily number of driving trips made by adults in the U.S. decreased by 42% during the early months of the pandemic, AAA said.FILE PHOTO: Traffic is seen on a highway ahead of the July 4th holiday, in New York, U.S., July 2, 2021.
