If a driver behind you is aggressive and flashing their lights, what is a recommended response?

In a situation where an aggressive driver is behind you and flashing their lights, the recommended response is to pull over and let them pass. This approach prioritizes safety and helps to de-escalate a potentially dangerous confrontation. By allowing the aggressive driver to overtake you, you reduce the likelihood of an aggressive interaction on the road.

Maintaining your speed might inadvertently provoke the following driver further, escalating their frustration. Changing lanes to confront them could lead to a direct confrontation, putting you at risk. While calling the police could be appropriate in some severe cases, it may not be a practical immediate response when you can simply allow the aggressive driver to go ahead. Thus, pulling over is a clear and effective way to manage the situation safely.
