%X The paper looks into aggressive driving as a whole. First, different
definitions from different sources were introduced. The differences in
definitions were discussed depending on the reporting entity, including
newspaper articles, research studies, and legal documents (laws). Then, the<span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">authors
provided a comprehensive definition to accommodate all purposes of an
aggressive driving definition. Next, to better understand aggressive driving,
the causes of aggressive driving were discussed, and vulnerable groups were
highlighted. The causes are split into demographic, societal, environmental,
situational, and personal traits. The severity and consequences of aggressive
driving were illustrated to provide an image of the issue¡¯s intensity. One
highlight is that 89% of drivers admit to participating in aggressive driving
behaviors </span></span></span><span><span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:\" color:#943634;\"=\"\">[<a href=\"#ref1\">1</a>]</span><span></span></span></span><span><span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span></span></span><span><span></span></span><span><span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:\" color:#943634;\"=\"\">[<a href=\"#ref2\">2</a>]</span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"></span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">. The
currently adopted solutions to combat the problem were divided into
engineering, education, and enforcement. An elaboration of each tactic was
discussed. Then, some creative solutions were addressed. Engineering and
education solve the problem before it becomes an issue on roadways. As for
enforcement which, as it increased, fatalities decreased; can ensure all drivers
comply with the rules. The conclusion is that a combination of all three
solutions is needed to achieve an efficient model of fighting aggressive
driving.</span></span></span>
