ORLANDO, Fla. – You’ve heard me talk plenty about not being the aggressive driver — but today, let’s flip the script. Let’s talk about how to avoid them.
We’ve all been there. You’re cruising along, enjoying your day, when out of nowhere you see someone weaving between lanes, tailgating, honking for no reason, or just plain driving like they’re auditioning for a demolition derby.
It’s frustrating. It can even be scary. But here’s the thing: while you can’t control what that “clown car” driver does, you can control what you do.
Today, during my Trooper Steve on Patrol stream, I want to hit the road with you and show some simple but effective strategies for vehicle placement that can help you avoid these stress-inducing encounters.
We’ll talk about things like:
- Keeping a safe following distance so you have room to react.
- Staying out of other drivers’ blind spots.
- Picking lanes that give you more options to move if needed.
- Recognizing the signs of an aggressive driver early so you can make adjustments.
It’s all about making you the calm, in-control driver — even when others seem determined to test your patience.
So, if you’ve ever muttered “here we go again” watching someone speed past on the shoulder, or you just want to feel safer and less stressed behind the wheel, join me today on our stream.
Let’s talk about avoiding the aggressive drivers — so we don’t become them ourselves.
See you on the road!
