How to Identify Aggressive Driving
Many forms of aggressive driving see the offending driver violate local roadway law. “Aggressive driving” can describe behaviors including the failure to use a signal, speeding in controlled areas, and tailgating. All of these behaviors may entitle Brooklyn police officers to ticket the offending driver or even arrest them.
Brooklyn personal injury lawyers know that some aggressive drivers refuse to stay on the scene of an accident that they caused because they believe fleeing the scene will limit their liability. This is not the case.
While you should never pursue an aggressive driver or interact with them in such a way as to put yourself in danger, remaining on the scene and assessing the extent of your losses can help you take action against that driver later down the line.
How to Interact With an Aggressive Driver
Aggressive drivers can get in your face and attempt to intimidate you out of your rights to legal action. You don’t have to stand by and let these parties verbally abuse you or physically put you in danger. We recommend that you remain on the scene near your accident and document what you can, including the driver’s license plate and the extent of the damage done to your car.
If possible, take a video of the aggressive driver’s continued bad behavior so that you might later use it in either a criminal or civil case. Should the offending driver try to reach for your phone or otherwise physically endanger you, call for help and make sure that police officers know that you are in danger.
Aggressive drivers who engage in assault or battery can compound the criminal charges that the state of New York chooses to bring against them. You, in turn, can accuse these parties of exasperating you or aggressive driving accident losses as you fight for loss-based compensation in civil court.
