How should you respond to an aggressive driver on the road?

Responding to an aggressive driver requires a calm and composed approach. By avoiding eye contact and staying calm, you prioritize your safety and help to diffuse the situation. Engaging with an aggressive driver, either through conversation or by using hand gestures, can escalate tensions and provoke further aggression. Speeding up to get ahead may also lead to a dangerous situation, as it could encourage the aggressive driver to engage in reckless behavior. By focusing on remaining calm and avoiding any confrontation, you create a safer environment for yourself and other drivers on the road. This approach not only minimizes conflict but also allows you to maintain better control of your vehicle and the situation.
