How to act in response to aggressive driving

  • Don't play their game. Back off and let them go on their way. Remember, it's not a competition and it's not your job to teach them a lesson.

  • Ignore honking and rude gestures. Don't respond and don't make eye contact.

  • Wear your seat belt. If an encounter with an aggressive driver results in a crash, your seatbelt will significantly reduce your chances of being injured or killed.

  • If you can do so safely, contact police with the vehicle description, license number, the location, and direction of travel.
