Aggressive driving is dangerous and can cause serious injuries and fatal accidents to occur. Unfortunately, California has four cities ranked in the top six, Los Angeles ranking number one, for having the most aggressive drivers in the United States. Many of the car accidents that occur in California are due to drivers braking suddenly, causing fender benders.

According to a survey by GasBuddy, a safe driving app, most accidents occur on Fridays, while Wednesday has the least number of incidents. Drivers should always drive carefully despite traffic, construction, and bad weather to avoid accidents caused by aggressive driving.

Signs of aggressive driving include:

Speeding excessively
Tailgating others
Running stop signs
Speeding up on yellow lights
Racing to beat red lights
Failing to yield
Merging in and out of traffic
Passing illegally on the left
Failing to obey stop signs

What is the Difference Between Aggressive Driving and Road Rage?

It may seem that aggressive driving and road rage are the same, but they are very different from each other. Despite both posing a dangerous threat to other drivers, these types of offenses present themselves in unique ways on the road.

Due to their differences, it is easy to spot an aggressive driver compared to someone with road rage. Aggressive driving is a combination of driving offenses that endanger other drivers.

These are ticketed offenses and can cause serious injuries or fatalities. Road rage is a criminal offence and includes committing an act of violence against another driver, such as engaging in a reckless chase, retaliating against another motorist by hitting their bumper, or getting out of their vehicle to cause physical harm to someone else.

Road rage is often caused by a single incident that triggers anger in a driver. Aggressive driving can also lead to road rage if prompted by a specific occurrence.

Tips for Dealing with Aggressive Drivers

When you encounter an aggressive driver, it is important to stay calm and avoid challenging them. Get out of the aggressive driver’s way to prevent an accident. If the driver starts to antagonize, ignore them and avoid eye contact. If a threat continues to persist from another driver on the road, call the police immediately. It is safer to let them deal with aggressive drivers rather than attempting to handle it yourself.
