Q: I was driving on the freeway and a lady felt that I cut her off she got upset and threw an unopened drink can at my car

A: Encountering an aggressive road rage incident on the freeway, as you described in Alabama, can be unnerving. It's crucial to prioritize safety and remain composed in such situations. Instead of escalating the conflict, focus on driving safely and avoiding any engagement with the aggressive driver. Maintain a safe distance, refrain from retaliatory actions, and avoid making gestures or eye contact that could exacerbate the situation. If you feel threatened, consider contacting local law enforcement and providing them with details about the incident and the aggressive driver's vehicle. Your main objective should be to distance yourself from the aggressive driver and continue driving responsibly to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.
A: I hope you're okay. It sounds like you did what you could to avoid an accident. If a highway safety officer saw the incident, they could take action, going as far as license suspension. Good luck
