AGGRESSIVE DRIVING
ON THE ROADS
The motoring public considers aggressive driving to be one of the most concerning behaviors behind the wheel, according to a survey by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. Aggressive driving includes such behaviors as speeding in heavy traffic, road rage, intentionally ramming another vehicle or trying to harm another motorist.
The majority of fatal crashes involve one or more unsafe driving behavior typically associated with aggressive driving. Speeding, the most common, is a contributing factor in nearly a third of all deadly crashes.
HELP PREVENT AGGRESSIVE DRIVING
- Respect other drivers, as you would want them to respect you
- Obey the speed limit
- Use the left lane only when passing
- Use signals with plenty of warning
- Set an example for younger passengers
- Report incidents of aggressive driving to police
TIPS TO COMBAT AGGRESSIVE DRIVING
- Don’t take the actions of other drivers personally
- Avoid confrontations with other drivers and their passengers
- Avoid eye contact with aggressive drivers
- Use the horn only as a safety device
- Don’t tailgate
- Steer clear of an aggressive driver and let him/her pass
