Ways To Avoid Aggressive Driving
- Don't drive drowsy -- research shows that people are unable to predict when they will fall asleep.
- Avoid making eye contact with aggressive drivers -- don't escalate a dangerous situation!
- Give bicyclists wide berth -- they sometimes need to maneuver around potholes, opening car doors, and other obstacles.
- Stop at red lights -- sounds simple, but red light violators cause thousands of crashes every year!
- Avoid distractions while driving -- pull over if you need to use your cell phone.
- Pass on the left, drive on the right.
- Don't overdrive your headlights at night, especially in areas where animal crossing signs are posted.
- Avoid stopping on major highways whenever possible.
- Wear your seatbelt at all times.
- Don't drive drunk! Appoint a designated driver.
