Arrive Alive offers these tips on handling situations involving aggressive drivers:
If a driver is putting pressure on you, if possible and safe, move to the left and let the other driver pass you.
If you are faced with aggressive behaviour, stay calm. Avoid eye contact with the aggressive driver so as not to exacerbate the situation. Do not respond to provocative words or actions. Do not respond with disrespectful words or actions. Do what you can to avoid conflict.
If an aggressive person leaves his vehicle and heads toward you, Arrive Alive says you should remain in your vehicle and make sure the windows are shut and doors locked.
“Avoid arguing with the aggressive driver, looking at the person or making provocative gestures. Leave the area and go to a place where you can get help. Do not go home if the aggressive driver is following you. If you’re in traffic and can’t drive away, pick up your cell phone and show the driver you are calling the police. If the person doesn’t back off, honk your horn to attract the attention of other drivers. Note the make of the other driver’s car and his or her license plate,” said Arrive Alive.

ATTACK 2: White mom, her ten-month-old baby and the grandmother attacked by man in road-rage incident: Garsfontein South Africa:
-- Mother's shock after road-rage:
A woman from Garsfontein is still shaken after she was involved in a road rage episode on Thursday, with her ten-month-old baby and her mother in the car.
The woman, who prefers to stay anonymous, said she encountered a man in a red Toyota Hilux driving very slowly at a shopping centre in Atterbury Road.
“I was driving behind him and in my impatience I hooted. The driver came to a dead stop in the middle of the road and I proceeded to hoot as I was now annoyed,” she said.
“As I drove around him and continued on my way, he was following us to the main road. He sped up behind me and started hooting. At the traffic light, he moved next to my vehicle and almost crashed into me. He shouted to me to get out,” she claimed.
The woman said she skipped the yellow traffic light in a bid to lose her follower, but he kept up with her.
“Again he moved in next to me, almost pushing me off the road. I drove onto the sidewalk to try and get around him.
“The man still followed as I approached my house and I decided not to go home. I knew of a clinic nearby where there are security guards at the entrance so I headed that way.”
According to the woman, the man was still speeding behind her, forcing her to drive as fast as she could to get away from him. As she stopped at the clinic and begged the guards to help her, the man stopped next to her and approached her window.
“He was swearing and shouting for me to get out. I begged him to leave us alone because I had my baby in the car. He eventually got back in his vehicle and left. But I was fearful that he was lurking somewhere and would follow us home,” the woman said.
“Road rage is a scary thing. I cannot believe someone can snap like that and disregard a baby on board sign. I know I am not completely innocent in this case as I did hoot. But he definitely over-reacted. I have reported him to the Arrive Alive call centre in the hopes that they will do something about it. I am sure he has done this before and will probably do it again. ”
