What is the best way to handle an aggressive driver?

Staying calm and avoiding eye contact is the best way to handle an aggressive driver. This approach minimizes the chances of escalating the situation further. By remaining calm, you reduce the likelihood of provocation and help keep both your focus and composure in a potentially dangerous encounter on the road. Avoiding eye contact is crucial because it prevents any unintentional signaling that could encourage further aggression from the other driver.

In contrast, challenging the aggressive driver to a race or yelling back would only serve to escalate tensions and could lead to a dangerous confrontation. Switching lanes aggressively might not only provoke the aggressive driver further but could also pose a risk to your safety and the safety of others on the roadway. Remaining calm and disengaged helps maintain a safer environment for everyone involved.
