Aggressive Driving Accidents

Aggressive driving has become a problem on America’s roads – one that many people consider to be a tangible threat to their safety and the safety of their loved ones. Although aggressive driving – sometimes called road rage – is not new, there is speculation that greater congestion on the nation’s roads is a key contributor to the problem. However, sources also blame everything from hot climates to the pace of change in our daily lives. Whatever the reasons, the bottom line is that aggressive driving causes accidents. If you or a loved one has been hurt by an aggressive driver, contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss your rights.

Like the personal injury attorneys at Freeman Injury Law, you know aggressive driving when you see it. Angry motorists may follow your car too closely and change lanes rapidly and repeatedly. Aggressive drivers may run red lights, and they are likely to travel at unsafe speeds, posing a direct threat to others on the road.

What should you do if you cross paths with an aggressive driver? “Get out of the way,” says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Avoid the tendency to engage with aggressive drivers. Let them pull ahead, and ignore behavior such as rude gestures. The agency also advises motorists to avoid making eye contact with aggressive drivers as it may be construed as a challenge and cause the unsafe driver to escalate their bad behavior. Ask a passenger in your car to call police, or pull over and do so yourself. Reporting aggressive drivers can help law enforcement efforts to address the problem.
