Aggressive driving certainly comes with risks.
Road rage is, unfortunately, very common. And though you may not think honking or yelling will lead to injury, when situations escalate, that is the risk you run. Between January and mid-June of this year, approximately 35 percent of expressway shootings in the Chicago area have been tied back to road rage incidents, the ISP stated, as cited by victims or witnesses. This number has increased by a staggering 12 percent since 2021, police said.
These aggressive tactics include cutting off other cars, improper lane changes, distracted driving, and speeding, police said, all of which can land you in a dangerous situation. The ISP urges motorists to be aware of these warning signs to avoid putting themselves in harm's way.According to the ISP, the best policy for dealing with aggressive driving is to ignore it and call 911.
If you find that you are being followed by an aggressive driver, reroute yourself to the nearest police department, if possible, or to a populated area that is well-lit. Once there, police again stress the importance of calling 911. "Getting ahead or getting even with another [driver] is not worth the risk of a deadly crash or violence," Kelly said when addressing drivers in the press release."Keep calm and stay alive."
