How should you react to aggressive driving behavior from another driver?

Remaining calm and avoiding engagement is the most effective way to handle aggressive driving behavior from another driver. Engaging with an aggressive driver—whether through yelling back or trying to assert dominance by speeding ahead—can escalate the situation and put you at risk. By staying calm, you reduce the likelihood of provoking further aggression and maintain control over your own emotions and actions.

Instead of responding with anger or aggression, it's better to focus on safety. If you find yourself in a situation with an aggressive driver, creating distance between yourself and that driver can often defuse the situation. If necessary, you can seek assistance from law enforcement or report the behavior safely rather than directly confronting the aggressive driver. This approach prioritizes your safety and the safety of others on the road, which is crucial in maintaining a safe driving environment.
