How should a driver respond to aggressive drivers?

Staying calm, avoiding eye contact, and not engaging with aggressive drivers is the most effective response to handle such situations safely. Aggressive driving can escalate quickly, and maintaining your composure helps to minimize the risk of confrontation. By not reacting to aggressive gestures or behaviors, you reduce the chances of further provoking the other driver.

Keeping a safe distance and staying out of their way is critical; it allows you to maintain control of your own vehicle and reduces tension on the road. Engaging with aggressive drivers through eye contact, confrontational actions, or anger only fuels their aggression and can lead to dangerous situations.

This approach is especially important because aggressive drivers may be unpredictable, and reacting with aggression or confrontation can make the situation worse, potentially leading to road rage incidents. Choosing not to engage is a smart strategy for your safety and that of others on the road.
