4 Tips to Avoid Road Ragers
It is not always easy to remain calm while driving, but engaging in any type of road rage activity does not benefit you or anyone else. There is nothing good that can come from engaging in road rage other than increasing the risk of being in a vehicular collision that can have devastating results.
Road rage happens when drivers are operating their vehicles in an aggressive way. An aggressive way that can be violent, provocative, and threatening. It is not uncommon for road rage incidents to not just be an issue of dangerous driving, but these incidents can also be quite frightening when they involved a weapon. Over one-third of annually reported road rage incidents have a gun involved.

How to Stay Away from Road Ragers
If you are driving and notice that another driver is driving recklessly, erratically, and with aggression, it is in your best interest to avoid them at all costs. They are a liability to you and to everyone they are near including themselves and their own passengers. Here are some tips to avoid having to be near drivers prone to act in a belligerent manner.
- Follow the rules of the road when you are driving and be a driver that is consistent with your actions and predictable. Use your turn signals, and only pass when you have plenty of space between another car, do not tailgate, etc. All of these things can not just keep you safe while driving but they may help avoid triggering another driver.
- Honking can alert another driver to act in a specific way but it can also be irritating and unnecessary. Minimize the amounts of time you use your car’s horn when there is a safety concern such as someone potentially colliding with you while they change lanes.
- If you can see another driver being too pugnacious, do not challenge them. Just try to stay away from them and avoid them to the best of your potential. If you can ensure they pass you then you are in a safer position behind them than when they are riding behind you.
- It is easy to make a lewd gesture towards another driver but you are not gaining anything or proving anything by doing so. Avoid engaging in unnecessary vulgar movements, words, and actions, because they can only serve to escalate a situation to a level that can be quite perilous.
