San Antonio Aggressive Driving Accident Attorney

Aggressive driving can significantly increase the risk of a collision occurring. This is especially true when an aggressive driver gives in to road rage. Sadly, crashes with drivers who are acting out of rage are often more serious than other motor vehicle accidents because the motorist may be traveling at high speeds and may not have time to react to try to lessen the impact. 

Those who drive aggressively because of their anger behind the wheel can and should be held liable for their losses, but it is up to victims or their loved ones to navigate the legal system to prove liability and to fight for the money they deserve. The San Antonio car accident attorneys at The Aguirre Law Firm, PLLC can help.

What Is Road Rage and How Can It Lead to Aggressive Driving and Dangerous Crashes?

According to the medical journal Psychiatry, road rage can include a “variety of aggressive behaviors by the driver of a motor vehicle, which seem well beyond the perceived offense committed by the victim.”

Some of the most common types of aggressive driving behaviors exhibited by those with road rage include:

• Screaming and yelling at other drivers
• Using a weapon, including the vehicle, to try to hurt others on the road
• Tailgating, or purposefully following another vehicle at a dangerously close distance
• Cutting off other drivers, or sharply pulling into the path in front of them
• Brake checking, which involves hitting the brakes hard to scare the driver behind
• Blocking lanes and refusing to let another car pass
• Throwing objects from a vehicle
• Excessive speeding and dangerous passing

All of these behaviors can put other motorists on the road at risk. They are also all generally illegal under Texas law. 

If a driver engages in these or other unsafe behaviors, the chances of a collision are significantly higher. When a crash does happen, the aggressive driver is usually at fault, and victims of the accident should be able to recover compensation from that driver by proving negligence, willful wrongdoing, or a violation of a safety rule.
