What is "aggressive driving"?
Aggressive driving refers to behavior behind the wheel that is forceful, rude, or dangerous to others on the road. It can include actions such as tailgating, excessive speeding, changing lanes without signaling, or using the horn to intimidate other drivers. This type of driving often comes from frustration or impatience, but it increases the likelihood of accidents and can lead to road rage. Aggressive driving is not only unsafe but is also illegal in many places, with penalties ranging from fines to driver's license suspension.
Examples
