Aggressive driving response — Louisiana Permit Test
Aggressive driving response on the Louisiana permit test — 5 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
When confronted by an aggressive driver, avoid eye contact and steer clear, giving them plenty of room.
Staring at an angry driver can feel like a dare and make things worse.
Avoid eye contact and steer clear, giving drivers plenty of room.
Do not challenge an aggressive driver by speeding up or trying to hold your position in the traffic lane.
Holding your ground turns one angry driver into a race between two, and that ends in a crash.
Do not challenge an aggressive driver by speeding up or attempting to hold your position in the traffic lane.
Don't tailgate and don't use the horn to punish the other driver.
Honking or riding close to get back at someone only makes their anger grow.
Don’t tailgate and don’t use the horn to “punish” the other driver.
If an aggressive driver persists, do not stop on the side of the road; drive to a police station or a public place with witnesses.
People rarely start trouble where others can see them, and police can step in.
Do not stop and try to solve it on the side of the road. Drive to a police station or a public place where witnesses are readily available.
Above all, don't drive home if someone is following you.
Leading an angry driver to your house shows them where you and your family live.
Above all, don’t drive home if someone is following you.
On the test
An aggressive driver is yelling at you from the next lane. What should you do?
Avoid eye contact and give them room. Staring at an angry driver can feel like a dare and make things worse. Class D & E Driver's Guide, p.59: “Avoid eye contact and steer clear, giving drivers plenty of room.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
