Preventive driving as is taught in a good driving school in Orange County, including
watching out for and maintaining safe distance from aggressive drivers is
essential for everyone’s safety on the road. While it is true that drivers
should be accountable for their own driving decisions, life and safety are more
important, so we should all do our best to avoid accidents.
Aggression is very common on roads
today and aggressive behavior often comes from drivers who are unable to make
reasonable decisions in the given situation. The causes that might lead to
becoming reckless and aggressive include road rage, stress and private life
issues, even substance abuse, but paying proper attention to the behavior of
the other drivers on the road and other preventive driving practices are very
efficient ways to prevent the issues caused by aggressive drivers. Here are
some things to be aware of:
- You should try to avoid any conflict on the road, even if you have right of way;
- If a driver approaches you with the high beams on, do not respond by turning on your high beams – try not to look into the lights and let the aggressive driver overtake;
- Avoid eye contact with the aggressive driver – an aggressive person gets easily provoked by eye contact.
