What should a moped user do if they encounter an aggressive driver?

Staying calm, avoiding eye contact, and not engaging with an aggressive driver is the safest and most prudent choice for a moped user. Aggressive drivers may exhibit unpredictable behavior, and engaging with them can escalate the situation, potentially leading to dangerous consequences.

By remaining calm and avoiding eye contact, the moped user can minimize the chance of provoking the aggressive driver further. Not engaging in any confrontational behavior helps to de-escalate tensions and promotes a safer environment. This approach prioritizes personal safety, as confronting an aggressive driver could lead to road rage incidents, which could endanger the moped rider.

In contrast, engaging in a confrontation or signaling the driver can provoke the driver further, leading to an increase in aggression. Speeding up to escape may not be a practical option due to the limited speed of mopeds and the risk of losing control. Therefore, the best strategy for a moped rider in such a situation is to stay calm and avoid any actions that could exacerbate the conflict.
