Did you know, aggressive driving costs more? You may not think you’re driving aggressively, but your driving habits could be costing you money.

Aggressive Driving Costs

Aggressive driving, what is it? It’s not just that crazy driver that passed you by, but your own driving habits could be considered aggressive. For instance, have you ever accelerated rapidly? Do you speed or brake hard? Look back, have you ever revved your engine while waiting at a stop light? Think about it: each of these practices reduces your fuel economy and puts extra stress on your vehicle. In other words, these habits cost more money.  They also increase the likelihood of rear-end collisions and other accidents which impact a lot more than your car insurance.

Pro Tip: Though it’s not “aggressive driving,” this can save money overall. Try not to let your car idle too long. If you’re going to be over 30 seconds, it can save your gas mileage and money to turn the car off. For more detailed information, see this article from ANL.gov.

Drive Smooth, Save Money

Driving is stressful enough, be a smooth operator. Simply by accelerating smoothly and maintaining a safe following distance, drivers can save fuel while reducing wear on brakes and tires. It’s also less stressful and can improve your mood.

The Bottom Line

Aggressive driving costs drivers every time they hit the gas too hard. Quick starts waste fuel and strain your engine. Speeding and hard braking wear down a car’s brakes and tires faster. These habits also raise your crash and insurance claim risk. Drive smoothly, leave space, and protect your wallet every mile you’re on the road.  Safe driving isn’t just smart—it can be one of the best money-saving driving habits you develop too.
