If you encounter an aggressive driver, the safest first action is to

• A. Keep your speed and block them
• B. Make every attempt to get out of their way
• C. Brake suddenly to warn them
• D. Speed up to outpace them

Answer: (B)

When you encounter an aggressive driver, the safest move is to create distance and let them go by. Giving them space reduces your exposure to their unpredictable actions and lowers the risk of a collision. If it’s safe, ease off the accelerator, signal, and change lanes or pull over so they can pass. Do not engage or try to block them, and avoid braking suddenly or speeding up to outrun them—those actions can escalate the situation and increase danger. The goal is to stay on a predictable path with as much room as possible between you and the aggressive driver.
