What is Aggressive Driving?

Aggressive driving refers to a series of dangerous driving behaviors that demonstrate a disregard for the safety of others. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), aggressive driving includes actions that violate traffic laws and put people and property at risk. This form of driving often escalates into reckless behavior, making the roads hazardous for everyone.

Aggressive drivers are often impatient, frustrated, or angry, and their actions behind the wheel can have devastating consequences. Some of the most common forms of aggressive driving include:

• Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for road conditions is one of the most common aggressive driving behaviors. Speeding reduces a driver’s reaction time and increases the severity of crashes.
• Tailgating: Driving too closely to the car in front, or tailgating, can lead to rear-end collisions if the lead car stops suddenly. Tailgating is a clear sign of aggressive and impatient driving.
• Frequent Lane Changes: Weaving in and out of traffic lanes without signaling is another common form of aggressive driving. This behavior disrupts traffic flow and increases the likelihood of collisions.
• Running Red Lights and Stop Signs: Ignoring traffic signals or stop signs to save time is extremely dangerous and can result in deadly T-bone or intersection accidents.
• Blocking Lanes or Cutting Off Other Drivers: Aggressive drivers may try to block lanes or cut off other vehicles, forcing them to brake suddenly or swerve to avoid a crash.
• Road Rage: Aggressive driving often escalates to road rage, where the driver intentionally tries to harm another motorist through dangerous actions like brake-checking or forcing another vehicle off the road.

How Aggressive Driving Can Lead to Liability in a Car Accident

Aggressive driving is not only reckless but also illegal. Louisiana law requires drivers to operate their vehicles with reasonable care for others on the road. When a driver acts aggressively and causes an accident, they can be held liable for any resulting injuries or damages. These driver's actions may even cause their employer or rideshare companies such as Uber or Lyft to be liable for your damages and injuries.

In an aggressive driving accident case, the at-fault driver’s behavior may be used as evidence of negligence or even recklessness. This means that if you were injured by an aggressive driver, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses: Costs related to emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical treatments.
• Lost wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be compensated for your lost income.
• Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life caused by the accident.
• Property damage: Reimbursement for repair or replacement of your damaged vehicle and other personal property.
