Drivers who are guilty of road rage show little or no concern for their fellow drivers, engaging in such hostile and unsafe driving tactics as:

• Frequent or unsafe lane changes
• Failing to signal
• Tailgating
• Failing to yield right of way.

These erratic driving strategies often result in high-speed collisions on the highway, harming innocent drivers and passengers. The “raging” driver may feel provoked by another driver's slow driving or failure to observe the rules of the road, but aggressive and dangerous driving is unacceptable under any circumstances.

How can you tell if your Manhattan car wreck was caused by road rage? While the accident may have completely taken you by surprise, some noticeable signs of aggressive driving are:

• Flashing headlights
• Obscene gestures
• Deliberately obstructing other cars
• Verbal or physical abuse.

If any of these were a factor in your New York City car accident, or if the evidence points to aggressive driving, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim. Engaging in dangerous driving constitutes negligent or reckless behavior. Those who choose to put their anger above the safety of others must be held accountable. We will fight for you!
