This paper presents systematic research dealing with aggressive driving in the Czech Republic. There is limited information concerning reckless driving, aggressive driving or road rage either in the Czech Republic or in European Union. A lot of opinion polls were carried out, unfortunately based on subjective feelings, which refer to some differences (e.g. gender or age). The systematic survey of driver's behavior, which proceeds further in cooperation with Faculty of Transportation Science, Ministry of Transport and Police Headquarters, is helping to describe the aggressive behavior of drivers in the Czech Republic and suggest possible ways to avoid this risk factor.

Keywords: reckless driving, aggressive driving, road rage, road accident, prevent.
