During the wee hours of Black Friday, users had already begun flooding social media sites with videos and commentary detailing scuffles and all-out brawls over discounted merchandise and a number of otherwise predictable social infractions. Did you just cut in line?! 

Trending on Twitter was the hashtag #WalmartFights, which we'll let speak for itself. With tensions high and tempers flaring this holiday season, it should come as no surprise that drivers are exhibiting increasingly aggressive (and potentially dangerous) maneuevers that would definitely land them on Santa's Naughty List.

Will you be "naughty or nice" behind the wheel this holiday season? Some research could have drivers scrambling for, ahem, creative justifications. When State Farm and KRC Research conducted an online survey of 1,000 U.S drivers over 18 years old, they found there is plenty of room for improvement in driving behaviors. According to the survey, nearly two out of three (64 percent) U.S. drivers have experienced an "act of aggressive driving" six times or more in the past three months from another driver.
