What is a good practice to avoid aggressive driving?

• A. Respond with a loud horn to deter aggressive drivers
• B. Maintain a safe following distance, stay calm, and don't engage with aggressive drivers
• C. Speed up when someone cuts you off
• D. Keep a short following distance to prevent others from cutting in

Answer: (B)

Preventing road rage comes from giving yourself space, staying calm, and not feeding the confrontation. Keeping a safe following distance gives you time to react if the driver in front stops suddenly or makes a risky move, which lowers the chance of a crash. Staying calm helps you think clearly and avoid impulsive actions that could escalate the situation. Most importantly, don’t engage with aggressive drivers—no honking, gestures, or yelling—as that often makes things worse and can lead to a dangerous confrontation. If you can, create more space or allow them to pass, and continue at a steady, lawful speed. If the situation feels unsafe, pull away to a safer area. Choices like honking loudly, speeding up, or squeezing in with a short following distance tend to increase risk and escalation.
