What action should you take when faced with an aggressive driver?

When faced with an aggressive driver, the best course of action is to attempt to get out of their way. This approach prioritizes safety by reducing the chances of confrontation or a dangerous traffic incident. Aggressive drivers may exhibit unpredictable behavior, and by allowing them to pass or safely maneuver around you, you can diffuse a potentially volatile situation.

In contrast, engaging in hand gestures can escalate the situation, as it may provoke the aggressive driver further. Increasing your speed to outpace them may lead to reckless driving or speed violations, creating more risk on the road. Yelling at the driver not only distracts you from safely operating your vehicle but can also incite the aggressive driver to react even more negatively. Prioritizing your safety and the safety of others on the road is crucial, making maneuvering out of the way the most effective strategy.
