Which of the following is NOT a recommendation for dealing with an aggressive driver?

• A. Maintain your lane when being followed closely
• B. Slow down gradually and create distance
• C. Let them pass when safe to do so
• D. Avoid eye contact and gestures

Answer: (A)

Dealing with an aggressive driver is about reducing risk by creating space and avoiding escalation. If someone is following too closely, maintaining your lane offers no extra margin and can leave you with very little time to react if they brake suddenly or swerve. The safer moves are to slow down gradually to increase the distance between you and the vehicle ahead, giving you more reaction time, and to let the aggressive driver pass when it’s safe to do so. Avoid eye contact and gestures, which can inflame the situation. So, sticking with your lane in this scenario isn’t the recommended approach because it doesn’t help reduce risk or create space.
