What is an effective technique to prevent aggression in drivers behind you?

Pulling over to let aggressive drivers pass when it's safe is an effective technique for preventing confrontation and enhancing safety on the road. This approach acknowledges the frustration of the driver behind you and allows them to move ahead, thereby minimizing potential conflict. By creating space and letting them go past, you reduce the likelihood of an aggressive encounter, which can escalate if the tailgating driver feels impeded.

Maintaining your speed can sometimes irritate aggressive drivers, especially if they are in a hurry, while ignoring their behavior might not de-escalate the situation, as they may continue to express their frustration. Using your horn could also provoke further aggression rather than alleviating it. Overall, safely allowing the aggressive driver to pass is a practical and defensive driving strategy to maintain a peaceful driving environment.
