Question: If approached by an aggressive driver you should:
Answer options:
- Match their speed ✅ Stay calm, do not make eye contact, change lanes safely
- Brake-check them
- Honk back
Correct answer: Stay calm, do not make eye contact, change lanes safely
Explanation: Staying calm, avoiding eye contact, and safely changing lanes is the correct response because it de-escalates tension and creates a safe distance from a hostile driver. ICBC’s Learn to Drive Smart manual emphasizes defensive driving and conflict avoidance. Retaliatory actions like matching speed, brake-checking, or honking back are highly dangerous because they escalate road rage and significantly increase the risk of a collision. The underlying rule is to prioritize safety over retaliation. On the Class 7 knowledge test, understanding how to manage road rage and maintain self-control is essential for demonstrating the situational awareness required of new drivers.
