One in three people in the US has been affected by road trauma, with a loved one either killed or seriously injured as the result of a collision.

Furthermore, one in five has been involved in a serious collision themselves, from which one in ten experienced a serious injury. 

But despite these statistics, many drivers admit that they haven’t altered their behaviour while behind the wheel.

This is the finding from the latest Traffic Safety Culture survey published by the American Automobile Association (AAA), which found drivers continue to engage in risky behaviour.

Of the drivers surveyed, 36 percent said they run red lights yet 55 percent agreed that this was a serious threat to safety and 73 percent said it was unacceptable.

Around 65 percent said exceeding the speed limit by 10 MPH (16km/h) or more was unacceptable, but 44 percent admitted they commit the offence.
