What should you do if another driver is aggressive or road raging?

When faced with aggressive driving or road rage from another driver, avoiding confrontation and disengaging is the safest and most effective approach. Engaging with an aggressive driver can escalate the situation, leading to dangerous outcomes for both you and others on the road. By choosing to remain calm and not react to the aggression, you reduce the risk of further provocation.

If the behavior of the aggressive driver poses a threat, it's advisable to report the incident to the proper authorities, providing them with necessary details, including descriptions of the vehicle and license plate number if possible. This can help keep roads safer for everyone.

In contrast, challenging an aggressive driver to a race or any form of confrontation only serves to heighten the tension and could lead to dangerous situations. Ignoring them completely might not always be practical or safe, especially if the aggressive driver continues to follow you or make erratic movements. Speeding up to escape could lead to violations of traffic laws or increased danger, especially in situations where traffic is heavy or unpredictable. Therefore, the best course of action is to avoid interaction and prioritize safety.
