Aggressive Driving
Study results: - Children under the age of 15 represent 39 percent of the pedestrians struck by motor vehicles on the roadway and 37 percent of those struck in a non-roadway location.
- Less than half of the injuries to pedestrians under 10 years of age occurred in a non-roadway location or did not involve a motor vehicle, but these event types characterized about three-fourths of the incidents in the 45-64 and 65+ age groups.
- Collisions involving motor vehicles and pedestrian-only events occurring on the roadway were more likely to involve males, while pedestrian-only events in non-roadway locations were more likely to involve females.
- White pedestrians comprised just under half of those injured in motor vehicle collisions on the roadway, but three-fourths of those injured in pedestrian-only events.
- Black and Hispanic pedestrians appeared to be at a higher risk of being struck by motor vehicles on the roadway.
- Overall, almost 10 percent of the injured pedestrians either tested positive for alcohol or were presumed to be impaired (15 percent for pedestrians struck by motor vehicles on the roadway).
- Of the pedestrian-only events occurring on the roadway, 26 percent involved persons using in-line skates and an additional 5 percent involved persons on skateboards.
- Overall, persons in wheelchairs were involved in less than 1 percent of the cases.
