Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
A driver tailgates you and flashes his lights. Then he stops beside you at a red light, shouts and makes gestures at you. What is the safest response?
Correct answer: Look straight ahead, avoid eye contact, and let him leave first
Why
Aggressive drivers take out their anger on others: they speed, tailgate, weave through traffic, flash their lights, honk and shout. Any answer from you, even a long look, can make the conflict worse. Your goal is distance: let the driver go, and keep away from him.
