Subcommittee members heard testimony from auto safety advocates concerning agressive driving in the U.S. and enforcement measures. Mr. Martinez testified that “road rage", or drivers becoming frustrated by other motorists and violently confronting them, is responsible for two-thirds of traffic deaths in the United States.
