The most prudent way to deal with aggressive drivers is to find a safe place to pull over and let them go on. It is also important to drive at the posted speed, so as to not hold other people up.

still though , what can you do if someone is tailgating and will not pass ? This is a very serious problem. Why can't driver's realise they are being a**holes ?

As an aggressive driver the only comment I would add is that if you want to drive slower than the posted speed limit, stay out of the fast lane.

my 2007 toyota prius was recently rear-ended. When dealing with adjusters and the body shop doing the repairs,the concern was damage that can't be seen because the car is a hybrid. What electrical damage I should be aware of that may compromise the performance and value of the car? The bumber was crushed but the body untouched. The brake lights and turn signals are working fine. No broken glass. pmeeks@optonline.net

Avoid heavy traffic? Hahaha! That's impossible nowadays in LA- even on weekends! But I agree with everything here. Leave the techno/trance music at home (Rex!) hahaha!
