What should you do when confronted with an aggressive driver?

When confronted with an aggressive driver, allowing them to pass and refraining from engagement is the recommended approach. This strategy helps to defuse potential conflict and reduces the risk of escalation. Engaging with an aggressive driver could provoke further aggression or dangerous behavior, potentially putting yourself and other road users at risk.

By letting an aggressive driver pass, you create distance and avoid the chance of confrontation. Remaining calm and not reacting to their behavior can also help maintain your own safety and peace of mind.

In contrast, speeding up to get away can increase tensions and may lead to a situation where both drivers could act recklessly. Staying close to the aggressive driver can escalate the situation further, and engaging in conversation risks provoking them even more. Therefore, allowing the aggressive driver to pass is the safest and most prudent course of action.
