Bad Driving Habits On The Rise

More congestion on the roads might be leading to the perception that driving habits are getting worse as compared to five years ago.

The Canadian Automobile Association office is located on one of the busiest streets in the city, Westmorland Road as you make your way down the hill to McAllister Mall and Consumers Drive.

The C-A-A's Gary Howard tells CHSJ News when behind the wheel, you have to pay attention to what you're doing.

He says 80 per cent of accidents could be avoided with just one more second of reaction time.

Howard also points out for some reason, people become more aggressive when driving and engage in behaviour they wouldn't dream of doing if just walking along the street.
