You, like many other Georgia drivers, are facing a serious charge that may have begun with something as simple as another driver cutting in front of you too closely.
Whatever your particular situation, you can deal with this type of driving, starting with recognizing the symptoms in yourself. Usually, you will get behind the wheel feeling angry or even violent towards other drivers. You may complain about the other vehicles on the road to passengers in your car. You might even ignore traffic laws because you tell yourself they are stupid or unnecessary. The result can be very risky driving behaviors.
Here are some tips to help you be safer and avoid another Georgia aggressive driving charge:
- Give yourself plenty of time to make the trip.
- Listen to calm, relaxing music, and try to match its mood with yours.
- Talk to yourself about how little control you have over the other traffic, the lights, and behaviors of other drivers.
- Always avoid conflict with other drivers. Be polite, get out of the way even if he or she is behaving badly, and give yourself plenty of room for lane changes and stops.
- Use your car’s signals, not aggressive hand signals, to communicate with other drivers.
- Keep in mind that driving is not a contest. There is no winner—just losers when a crash, fight, or other tragedy strikes.
- If you are really, really mad at another driver’s behavior, report it, don’t fight it.
