Confronted by aggressive driver — North Dakota Permit Test

Confronted by aggressive driver on the North Dakota permit test — 4 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

When confronted by an aggressive driver, first and foremost make every attempt to get out of their way.

Putting space between you and an angry driver ends the contest before it can become a crash or a fight.

First and foremost, make every attempt to get out of their way.

North Dakota Noncommercial Driver License Manual, p.43

Do not challenge an aggressive driver by speeding up or attempting to hold your own in your travel lane.

Racing or blocking an angry driver turns one person's temper into two cars fighting at speed.

Do not challenge them by speeding up or attempting to “hold-your-own” in your travel lane.

North Dakota Noncommercial Driver License Manual, p.43

When confronted by an aggressive driver, avoid eye contact, and ignore gestures and refuse to return them.

Eye contact or a returned gesture reads as a challenge, and that is often what turns anger into an attack.

Ignore gestures and refuse to return them.

North Dakota Noncommercial Driver License Manual, p.43

Report aggressive drivers to the appropriate authorities with a vehicle description, license number, location, and if possible direction of travel; if you have a cell phone and can do it safely, call 911.

Police can stop a dangerous driver only if they can find the car, and the plate and location tell them where to look.

Report aggressive drivers to the appropriate authorities by providing a vehicle description, license number, location, and if possible, direction of travel.

On the test

An aggressive driver confronts you. What should you do first and foremost?

Try to get out of their way. Putting space between you and an angry driver ends the contest before it can become a crash or a fight. North Dakota Noncommercial Driver License Manual, p.43: “First and foremost, make every attempt to get out of their way.”

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.
