Road Safety Reminder for the week of July 8 - 14, 2024

Dealing with Speeding and Aggressive Drivers

Speeding behavior and aggressive drivers may not only affect the speeder—it can also affect other drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Here are some tips for encountering speeders on the road:

• If you are in the left lane and someone wants to pass, move over and let them by.

• Give speeding drivers plenty of space. Speeding drivers may lose control of their vehicle more easily.

• Adjust your driving accordingly. Speeding is tied to aggressive driving. If a speeding driver is tailgating you or trying to engage you in risky driving, use judgment to safely steer your vehicle out of the way.

• Call the police if you believe a driver is following you or harassing you.
