Q. Why is excessive speeding so dangerous?

A. Speed causes nearly one-third of all fatal motor vehicle crashes. Speeding reduces the time drivers have to avoid a crash or a dangerous situation and greatly increases the likelihood the crash will be severe.

Q. What should I do if confronted by an enraged/aggressive driver?

A. The top three things to remember when confronted by an enraged or aggressive driver are:

Don't react to another driver's uncivil behavior—avoid eye contact and don't tailgate, accelerate, brake or swerve suddenly, which can be seen as confrontational.
If confronted by an aggressive driver, go to the nearest police station if you continue to be hassled or think you are being followed.
Lock your doors.

Q. What can I do to prevent road rage and aggressive driving?

A. Begin by taking the quiz to determine if you are an aggressive driver and/or have road rage. In either case, make a pledge to yourself and the community to practice safe driving habits and read Dealing with Road Rage and Aggressive Driving.

My Rules of the Road

Pay attention.
Pay attention.
Remind your self to pay attention.
Don't bother trying to pass. Only pass when you know you can.
If you think you are a good driver, then you must drive a lot. If you drive a lot, remind yourself odds are against you for avoiding an accident. Pay attention.
No one drives like you.
Don't hit anything...anything.
Blinkers are a tool. Don't use because it's the law, use them to your advantage. Also, don't use them to ask to make a maneuver. You either can or not, and blinkers will help others become aware of your intent.
If you tailgate, I know you do not know how to drive because you are assuming the other driver is as good as you.
Do what you want, but don't do it to me.
