How should you react to an aggressive driver?

When dealing with an aggressive driver, the best course of action is to ignore them and avoid eye contact. This approach helps to de-escalate the situation rather than inflaming it further. Aggressive drivers often seek a reaction, and by not engaging with them, you minimize the risk of confrontation.

Avoiding eye contact also signals to the aggressive driver that you are not interested in interacting, which can prevent further provocation. Maintaining your composure is critical for your safety as well as that of other road users. It’s essential to stay calm and focused on your driving, keeping your distance and not allowing their behavior to affect your judgment.
