If you encounter an aggressive driver, do not overreact; Put your pride in the back seat. Do not challenge them by speeding up or attempting to hold-your-own with them. Do not endanger yourself by trying to evade the driver, do not gesture or retaliate in anyway, avoid eye contact (an angry look can increase the other drivers aggression). If you have passengers in your car, do not let them interfere. If the driver is in front of your car slow down and let them go on their way. If the driver is behind you, do not brake suddenly, signal left and let them pass you, on no-account stop your car to get out, you are much safer in your locked car. If the driver continues to harass or follows you, do not go home (no point telling an aggressive person where you live) drive to the nearest police station or a public place such as a shopping centre (usually they have security guards). Park within eyesight and earshot of other people. Under no circumstances should you get out of your vehicle, if you have a mobile phone, call 999 and tell the police that you have been involved in an aggressive driving incident, if you do not have a mobile phone use your car horn to attract help. Support police efforts to rid the streets of this menace. If the aggressive driver is involved in a crash or incident further down the road, stop a safe distance from the scene, wait for the police to arrive and report the dangerous and aggressive driving behaviour that you witnessed.
