What is the difference between aggressive driving and road rage?
How do I know what’s aggressive driving and what’s road rage? They seem really similar and I’m not sure how to tell them apart.

You’re right that they seem similar! Here’s the difference between aggressive driving and road rage:
- Aggressive driving is considered an offensive driving style that might include honking excessively, speeding through heavy traffic, making obscene hand gestures, or tailgating. Driving aggressively canearn you a ticket, but you don’t risk jail time by doing so.
- Road rage is a criminal offense that can lead to jail time. Road rage involves intentional violence, such as using your car as a weapon or getting out of your car to confront someone.
