Santa Claus is coming to town... but let's hope he's not taking the highway. GasBuddy HAS released the results of its annual aggressive holiday driving study, revealing that U.S. drivers are up to 48% more aggressive on the roads during the holiday season. The study ranked the top 50 U.S. metros from most to least aggressive, placing Tucson, AZ at the top of the "naughty list", and Minneapolis, MN as the city with the "nicest" holiday drivers, rising six spots from 7th in 2022.
So what list is Orlando on? Well, it's no surprise that Orlando is on the naughty list!
GasBuddy's study examined millions of drives during 2023's Thanksgiving holiday weekend, measuring the number of events of speeding, hard braking, and fast acceleration, and Orlando has placed number three on the Naughty List – Top 10 Cities with the Most Aggressive Holiday Drivers!
"Driving during the holiday season can be stressful, but it's important to remember to stay calm and courteous on the road," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "Additionally, aggressive driving can negatively impact fuel efficiency, causing drivers to waste money that could be spent on holiday celebrations or gifts for loved ones."
