	Aggressive driving or "Road Rage" is the operation of a motor vehicle in an unsafe and
	hostile manner without regard for others.



	It often occurs when a driver is frustrated, impatient or irritable.



	Speeding can lead drivers to follow too closely, change lanes frequently or abruptly without
	signaling, pass on the shoulder or unpaved portions of the roadway, and even harass motorists who just happen to be in front of them.



	Aggressive driving also may include running stop signs and red lights, passing stopped school
	buses, failing to keep right, driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, and reckless driving.


	Ways to avoid becoming an aggressive driver...

Allow enough travel time to reach your destination on schedule.

Alter your schedule to avoid driving during peak highway congestion periods.

If you're running late, call ahead so you can relax.

When driving, relax and remain aware of your posture. Sit back in your seat, loosen your

grip on the steering wheel and don't clench your teeth.

Give others the benefit of the doubt; be polite, courteous, and forgiving.


	You can control your reactions to other drivers. If someone drives aggressively, do not retaliate...

	Steer Clear of Aggressive Driving.


	When confronted by an aggressive driver...

	Stay calm and relaxed
	Make every attempt to get out of the way safely. Don't escalate the situation.
	Put your pride in the back seat. Do not challenge an aggressive driver by speeding up or
	attempting to hold your position in your travel lane.
	Wear a seat belt and encourage your passengers to do the same.
	Avoid eye contact.
	Ignore harassing gestures and refrain from returning them.
	Report aggressive drivers to appropriate authorities by providing a vehicle description,
	location, license plate number, and direction of travel.
	If an aggressive driver is involved in a crash, stop a safe distance from the crash scene.
	When police arrive, report the driving behavior you witnessed.
