New York drivers often grow impatient with traffic conditions or other drivers on the road, and they may act aggressively in response. Actions like tailgating, swerving in and out of lanes, and other maneuvers create dangerous conditions on the road, which can lead to severe accidents like rear-end collisions. Aggressive drivers who injure others should be held accountable for the losses that victims face.

Aggressive driving is a factor in over half of all car accident fatalities nationwide, according to the American Automobile Association. Some common signs of an aggressive driver include:

• Tailgating, which is when one vehicle follows too closely, and unsafely, behind another vehicle.
• Speeding excessively, which often leads to more significant injuries due to the higher force of impact.
• Changing lanes constantly and quickly without signaling or watching for other motorists.

When confronted with an aggressive driver, the NHTSA recommends avoiding engaging with them and reporting any aggressive actions to the proper authorities. Avoid a confrontation with the aggressive driver and any further aggressive actions or violence.
