Aggressive driving can lead to accidents

As Bozeman continues to grow over 50,000 people this also relates to more and more traffic. Increased traffic starts to wear on people, and some become more aggressive drivers which increases the likelihood of a traffic accident. Montana State University is now over 25,000 students with most not contributing to the city population count so our roads are getting more full at about every intersection around town.

If you encounter an aggressive driver on the road…     

  • Stay as far away as possible. Slow down or change lanes if possible. Let the driver pass you and give yourself room at intersections to drive away.
  • Do not engage with or challenge the driver. Ignore the driver's rudeness and don't give into the temptation to react in kind or you might escalate the risky behavior.
  • Put your safety first. If you encounter an aggressive driver, then try to stay away from them and remember a traffic accident will ruin your day even more.

If you have a short fuse yourself stay cool and…

  • Leave plenty of time to get where you need to go. When you're in a hurry, your patience is short, and you are much more likely to become aggravated.
  • Remember other drivers are not annoying you on purpose. People make mistakes or they might be driving more slowly for a reason. Bozeman has lots of new residents and college kids not familiar with the streets.
  • Don't tailgate slow drivers. Hanging on another car's back bumper is dangerous. If the car in front of you has to stop short and you rear-end it, the accident would be considered your fault.
