Online Texas Defensive Driving Tip

Avoiding Dangers while Driving in Texas

To avoid danger while driving in Texas, you should first be a cautious, considerate driver. Always avoid creating a situation that may provoke another motorist. Provoking a driver may take as little as a honk of the horn, braking abruptly, flashing your headlights, or even following a driver too close.

But, if you do encounter an angry driver, don't make matters worse by triggering a confrontation. Avoid eye contact, don't make inappropriate hand or facial gestures, don't pursue them to give them a piece of your mind or threaten them, don't reach for your gun, don't throw anything and don't make any attempts to customize their vehicle with any blunt objects you have in your car. The best course of action is to steer clear and give the angry driver plenty of room; however, if the angry driver persists and you are concerned for your safety, call 9-1-1.
