This can enrage the other driver and escalate the situation.<\/li>\n<li>If at all possible, try to stay out of an aggressive driver&#8217;s way.<\/li>\n<li>In extreme cases, report the driver. If he or she is putting others in danger it is important that they are stopped.<\/li>\n<li>Continue to use safe driving habits by driving the speed limit, using your signals, and changing lanes with caution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How Does This Impact My Insurance?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The impact road rage can have on your insurance may seem obvious but many are shocked to find out the actual costs of accidents and traffic violations.
