The annual count of Indiana collisions involving dangerous driving increased for the second consecutive year (from 24,794 collisions in 2013 to 31,216 collisions in 2014) (Figure 1). Dangerous driving collisions accounted for 15.2 percent of all Indiana crashes in 2014, a 2.4 percentage point increase from 2013. A dangerous driving collision is defined as any collision where a driver takes one or more of the following actions: aggressive driving, disregarding a signal, or speeding.
