How should you respond when encountering an aggressive driver?

Speed up to outrun them
Ignore them and maintain pace
Stay calm and move out of their way safely
Engage in shouting to show confidence

The correct answer is: Stay calm and move out of their way safely

When encountering an aggressive driver, the best course of action is to stay calm and move out of their way safely. This approach helps to defuse a potentially dangerous situation. Aggressive drivers often exhibit erratic behavior that can pose risks to everyone on the road. By remaining calm, you reduce the likelihood of escalating the situation. Moving out of their way allows you to avoid confrontations and keeps you and your passengers safe. Maintaining a safe distance from the aggressive driver and continuing to follow traffic laws is essential. This reaction not only prioritizes your safety but also the safety of others on the road. Engaging with an aggressive driver, whether through speeding up or shouting, can increase risk and lead to accidents or road rage incidents. Ignoring them without taking steps to safely distance yourself is not as proactive in ensuring safety.
