North Carolina is the home to NASCAR, but we can't all be NASCAR drivers.

New State data shows that one county in particular had the most aggressive drivers in the state.

According to the Charlotte Observer,

"Mecklenburg County produced four times as many aggressive driving charges as any other county in the state in 2017."

279 people were charged with the offense last year in Mecklenburg. The second most charges where in Wake County, with just 67.

Statewide, last year alone, 1,055 people were charges with reckless driving!

Careful out there!

Okay, so Mexican food is my personal favorite, but I’m not saying no if you’re trying to eat out on the town anywhere. I I am on air for middays but also the Program Director for Kiss 95.1.
