JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS
Aggressive driving could lead to dangerous car accidents in Philadelphia. Aggressive driving can include a multitude of dangerous actions including speeding, tailgating, improper lane changes and improper passing. These actions are frustrating at best and deadly at worst. With that, the Philadelphia car accident law firm of Mednick Mezyk and Kredo has some helpful tips for handling aggressive drivers in Pennsylvania.
The following are some tips and suggestions when confronted by aggressive drivers:
- When possible, make every attempt to get out of the way.
- Do not challenge aggressive drivers by speeding up or attempt to stand your ground in your lane of travel.
- Always wear your seat belt. If you need to complete an abrupt maneuver, it will keep you in your seat and protect you in the event of a collision.
- Avoid interaction with the aggressive driver such as eye contact and returning or giving hand gestures.
- Report aggressive driving to the police if you feel that you or other drivers are in danger. You’ll need to provide a brief vehicle description (i.e. color and make/model of the vehicle) as well as license number, location and direction of travel.
While it is best to avoid incidents with these drivers entirely, sadly, accidents can and still do occur frequently.

Our Philadelphia accident attorneys understand the law and how to maximize the compensation you are due. For a free case evaluation, call us today at 888-807-WORK (9675).
