What should I do if an aggressive Tennessee driver harasses me on the road?

Aggressive drivers cause many accidents throughout Tennessee and the United States. These lawbreakers may even physically attack other motorists while on the road, using their cars as weapons, or follow other drivers and wait until they stop to confront them.

For these reasons, you should NEVER respond to any kind of aggression when you are driving. As a general rule, you should always be aware of other drivers on the road and respond passively to motorists who threaten you in any way.

For instance, if the driver cuts you off, slow down and give him plenty of room to move ahead of you. Or, if an aggressive driver becomes angry with you and tries to personally contact you, do not make eye contact and never respond to obscene hand gestures.

If you see an aggressive driver cause an accident, wait until it is safe, pull over and contact law enforcement to report what you have seen.

If you are the victim of an aggressive driver who causes you to have an accident, you have the moral responsibility to bring the guilty driver to justice. If it is possible, get the license number of the aggressor’s vehicle. If the accident is more serious, hopefully other responsible drivers will come forward as witnesses and identify him or her.
