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 congestion 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 yourself or your passenger’s safety, call 911.
