What is the recommended action if you encounter a driver behaving aggressively towards you?

  1. Engage in a road rage confrontation

  2. Try to speed ahead of them

  3. Avoid eye contact and drive safely

  4. Challenge their behavior verbally

The correct answer is: Avoid eye contact and drive safely

When encountering an aggressive driver, the best course of action is to avoid eye contact and drive safely. This approach helps to de-escalate the situation and protect yourself. Engaging with the aggressive driver, whether by confronting them verbally or trying to speed past them, can further escalate tensions and potentially lead to dangerous outcomes. Remaining calm and focusing on your own driving reduces the likelihood of a confrontation, allowing you to exit the situation without incident. This strategy prioritizes safety for everyone on the road, as aggressive drivers often thrive on attention and confrontation. By choosing to remain composed and attentive to the road, you are making a conscious effort to defuse potential road rage.
