IDENTITY THEFT PRO
Aggressive driving – intentional, dangerous behavior that jeopardizes the safety of motorists and pedestrians – is a serious problem on America’s roads and highways. It’s a factor in up to 56 percent of fatal crashes, according to data from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
Less common – but far more dangerous – is road rage, deliberate, uncontrolled anger that leads to violence or the threat of violence on the roads.
A frightening element of both aggressive driving and road rage is that they’re unpredictable, can be ignited quickly, and can occur at any time. In addition, numerous studies indicate that we are all capable of acting out our anger when we’re behind the wheel, no matter our age, gender or how considerate we might be in other circumstances. While aggressive driving is dangerous and often violates traffic laws, road rage is a crime. Consequences can include suspension or revocation of your driver’s license, and even jail time.
AVOIDING ROAD RAGE
So, what can we do to avoid road rage in others or in ourselves? When motorists were surveyed, they consistently identified the following situations
as ones that would anger and provoke them.
• Tailgating.
• Making obscene or provocative gestures. • Honking your horn.
AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS – DO’S AND DON’TS
If you do encounter an aggressive driver, what should you do and not do?
• Don’t engage in any aggressive behavior.
• If another driver tries to pick a fight, steer clear and
give them lots of room.
• Do not, under any circumstances, pull off to the side
of the road and try to settle things face to face.
• If an angry motorist tries to get your attention, avoid
making eye contact. Engaging with him or her
could turn an impersonal encounter into a duel.
• If you think another driver is following you or trying to pick a fight, call the police on your cell phone.
• Drive to a place where there are lots of people, such as a police or fire station, convenience store or shopping center, etc.
• If an angry driver blocks your progress and approaches your car on foot, lock the doors, remain inside the vehicle and call 911 for help.
• Don’t go home until you’re sure the aggressor is gone and it’s safe.
