Aggressive driving can take many forms, tailgating, honking and speeding, just to name a few. No one wants to become a statistic in an aggressive driving incident. Drivers should know how to quickly recognize aggressive driving and how to avoid crashes caused by another driver’s recklessness behind the wheel.
In this session, National Safety Council Program Manager April Ramos is joined by Texas Department of Public Safety Lieutenant Craig Cummings to provide insights into the telltale signs of aggressive driving and how aggressive driving can escalate into road rage. Practical advice on what drivers can do to protect themselves and reduce the likelihood of being involved in crashes caused by other people’s reckless driving will be discussed.

Free Employer Training
Given the enormous expense associated with crashes and injuries, it is necessary to train your employees to drive safely and develop a company-wide traffic safety program.
About half of all crash-related injuries result in days away from work, which can greatly impact employer costs, including:
- Health, life and disability insurance premiums
- Sick leave
- Contributions to workers’ compensation medical and disability insurance
- Liability insurance
- Crash-related legal expenses
- Lost productivity
- Recruiting and training to replace an injured employee
Our Driving Concern offers a free training program to teach your employees the basics of traffic safety and help prevent costly crashes. Our Driving Concern Transportation Safety Training teaches skills in conjunction with a traffic safety curriculum to address driver behaviors that are costly to Texas employers. This training is great for HR professionals, safety professionals, supervisors, instructors and other staff.
