Road Rage

  • If you have an aggressive driver behind you, remain calm, try and move away from the aggressive driver by overtaking the vehicle in front
  • Keep moving until you can stop in an area where the are other people around e.g. Petrol Station
  • If a car travels alongside you at the same pace, slow down and let it pass
  • If a car pulls in front of you, forcing you to stop, Do Not get of of your car
    • Keep your windows closed and the doors locked
    • If the driver approaches you, assess their mood and either
      • lower your window just enough so that you can hear what they are saying, or
      • Reverse and get away
      • if you can not get away, activate you hazard lights and sound your horn continuously
  • If anyone tries to force down a partially open window or open an unlocked door hit their hand with any available object
  • Take note of their licence plate number, make and model of the vehicle and anything identifiable about the driver
  • If you have a mobile phone, use it to report the incident to the police as soon as possible
