1. Aggressive driving is an offense such as tailgating, speeding, and other forms of carelessness driving.

2. Road rage is a criminal offense, this happens when a traffic incident rises to some type of violence.

a) This is usually some type of physical confrontation or assault with vehicle or a weapon.

II. Many things can cause road rage, some of which you wouldn’t think of.

A. In a few cases, the incidents are little misunderstandings between drivers.

1. The offending driver may realize right away he/she has done wrong, but the other driver thinks that they have to be taught a lesson.

2. Many reckless drivers are teenagers who haven't had their license long enough, to make the right decisions.

a) Get out of the way but do not acknowledge the other driver. If he/she continues to follow, drive to a police station, or convenience store.

1. Dim your lights for oncoming traffic, and don’t flash high beams to “teach them a lesson”.

1. Music can be dangerous because it prevents some people to give less attention to the road and how they’re driving. Noise from another driver's car, can produce stress, and can make concentration more difficult for the driver.

C. Keep a safe distance between vehicles, especially at high speeds.
