Aggressive driving — New Hampshire Permit Test
Aggressive driving on the New Hampshire permit test — 2 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
Aggressive driving occurs when an individual intentionally commits an action which endangers other persons or property.
What separates it from a mistake is the word intentionally. The driver meant to do the thing, whatever they meant to happen next.
Aggressive driving occurs when an individual intentionally commits an action which endangers other persons or property.
Behaviors typically associated with aggressive driving include speeding, following too closely, unsafe lane changes, improper signaling and failing to obey traffic control devices.
None of these looks dramatic on its own, which is how a driver builds up to aggressive driving without ever deciding to.

On the test
What makes driving aggressive rather than merely careless?
The action was committed intentionally. What separates it from a mistake is the word intentionally. The driver meant to do the thing, whatever they meant to happen next. New Hampshire Driver's Manual, p.8: “Aggressive driving occurs when an individual intentionally commits an action which endangers other persons or property.”
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.
