What Is Aggressive Driving In Georgia?
While using the road, drivers face many frustrating issues, such as traffic snarl-ups, delays and congestion. Aggressive driving in Georgia refers to a pattern of behaviors exhibited by motorists that display disregard for the safety of others on the road. This includes:
- Weaving in and out of traffic
- Driving along the shoulder
- Failure to signal
- Tailgating
- Driving faster than the road and weather conditions allow
- Running red lights
- Excessive horn honking
- Failure to yield
- Blocking or cutting off
- Use of intimidating gestures and language
In extreme cases, aggressive driving can escalate to road rage, where drivers may intentionally collide with other vehicles, use weapons or engage in physical altercations. Such behavior can lead to severe injuries, property damage and even fatalities.
