Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    If you have a road rage driver in your sight, keep yourself in check and refrain from over reacting. Nothing is as important as your life. And even if you do allow someone to cut in front of you, it isn't the end of the world.

  2. Step 2

    Next, if your road rage driver is in front of you, slow down to give them some space. The idea of being too close is an accident waiting to happen if the other driver decides to slam on the breaks.

  3. Step 3

    And don't forget if you need to get away from the road rage driver fast, slow down to give some space between you and their car.

  4. Step 4

    Once someone starts bring aggressive, you need to cut their contact with you off, avoiding escalating the situation. That is why if the other driver starts eyeing you or flipping you off, avoid looking at them or responding in any manner.

  5. Step 5

    If you are in a situation where there is road rage and you feel unsafe, pick up the cell and dial 9-1-1. The police need to get involved immediately to make sure this driver doesn't hurt you or anyone else.
