If your road trip ends up in Louisiana, you may want to be extra cautious, as a 2024 study published by Consumer Affairs says that Louisiana is the number one state for road rage.
The study looked at several factors, including speeding, accidents, aggressive driving, and gun violence, and Louisiana got the top score, with 47.32.
Louisiana law classifies road rage under reckless driving, and if you're caught, you can be fined up to $200, imprisoned for up to 90 days, or both for the first offense.
If you encounter an aggressive driver, stay calm and pull over if you have to. Avoid escalating anything with gestures, eye contact, or an exchange of words.
