CRIME PREVENTION TIPS
 
Aggressive Driving and Road Rage
 
If you have ever been passed on the wrong side of the road or passed in a NO passing zone, tailgated, or cut off by another vehicle, then you have been the victim of an aggressive driver.
           
Avoid Becoming an Aggressive Driver
  • Keep your emotions in check.  Don’t take your frustrations out on other drivers.
  • Traffic congestions is a problem almost everywhere and can occur at any time.   Plan ahead and allow time for delays.
  • Focus on your driving.  Yelling, gesturing, honking the horn, and pounding on your steering wheel will not get you to your destination any faster.
How to Avoid Danger   
First, be a cautious and considerate driver.  Avoid creating a situation that may provoke another motorist.
  • Don’t tailgate or flash your lights at another motorist.
  • Let aggressive drivers pass you.
Second, if you encounter an angry driver, don’t make matters worse by escalating the situation.
  • Avoid eye contact
  • Steer clear and give angry drivers plenty of room
  • Don’t make inappropriate hand or facial gestures.
If none of this works and you are concerned for you or your passenger’s safety, call 911.
