Through the paper, we present the most important social and psychological characteristics of people who exhibit aggressive driving behavior. Among the more important technical and psychological factors that determine the aggressive behavior of drivers are: personality traits, psychopathological conditions as well as anger and stress of the driver. Among the social factors, the following stand out: the driver's gender and age, and among the technical factors, the use of a mobile phone while driving and the use of psychoactive substances. There are several theories that try to explain how aggressiveness is created in drivers, which results in jeopardizing their own and other people's safety in traffic, which leads to light, medium or severe injuries to road users, as well as fatalities.
