If someone on the road is targeting you, get away from that person as soon as possible. If you have to slow down to drop back, get off the next exit, or even drive to a nearby police station if you are on city streets, do what you need to do to get away. Control your anger and do not let your emotions take over, as it will only worsen the situation. Additional tips include: Do not take it personally. The person does not know you, and their anger is his problem, not yours. Avoid making eye contact with the enraged driver, as she could see that as a challenge. Keep obscene and rude gestures to yourself—in your mind. Flipping someone off will only enrage him further. Do not tailgate. Do not use the horn unless it’s necessary. Do not block the right turn lane or the passing lane. If all else fails, call 911. Try to get a good description of the vehicle, including make and model, color, and, if possible, the license plate. If you can see the driver well enough out of your peripheral vision, a driver’s description can also help.
