Staying Safe on the Road: Tips from a Driving Instructor
Driving can be a stressful experience, especially when encountering angry drivers or road rage incidents. According to Marc Alonso, the owner of Ayala Driving School, the key to staying safe in these situations is to stay alert and avoid engaging with aggressive individuals.
Recently, a 19-year-old man was shot while driving on Highway 281 in San Antonio. The incident left him in critical condition, with the shooter still at large and the motive unknown. While the police have not confirmed if road rage was a contributing factor, Alonso believes that such acts of aggression are unfortunately becoming more common on the roads.
Alonso’s advice for dealing with aggressive drivers is to keep your distance, remain calm, and alert the authorities if necessary. If you find yourself in a situation where an aggressive driver is following you, he suggests calling 911 and moving to a safer location.
For bystanders who witness road rage incidents, Alonso advises staying out of the situation and letting the authorities handle it. It’s crucial to prioritize your safety and not intervene in potentially dangerous altercations.
As the investigation into the Highway 281 shooting continues, Alonso emphasizes the importance of remaining calm and avoiding confrontation on the road. By being vigilant, keeping your distance, and reporting any concerning behavior, you can help ensure a safer driving experience for yourself and others.
