Collecting Evidence for Road Rage Accidents
When people are running late for job interviews, for instance, and other drivers cut them off or they get stuck in traffic, they may start yelling or honking in anger. Others may even get out of their vehicles for a full confrontation.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), road rage is a form of aggressive driving that may include violent, threatening, or angry behavior. Some signs of road rage may include:
- Dangerously or frequently changing lanes
- Constant honking
- Yelling at other drivers
- Slamming on brakes intentionally
- Sudden deceleration or acceleration
- Making profane, rude, insulting, or lewd hand gestures to other drivers
- Cutting off other motorists
- Tailgating
- And more
Many of these actions are violations of traffic laws, and in Georgia, both reckless driving and aggressive driving are their own types of offenses. However, in a personal injury case, it may not be necessary for you to prove that the other driver had road rage. Instead, Bader Scott Injury Lawyers may be able to establish the responsible party’s liability with evidence that they acted negligently and violated a traffic law, such as:
- Failure to yield
- Speeding
- Illegal lane change
- Illegal turn
- Running a red light or stop sign
- And more
