Which of the following is an example of aggressive driving?

Aggressive driving involves using forceful or unsafe actions to pressure other drivers on the road. Tailgating leaves very little room to react and signals a willingness to push another car out of the way. Weaving through lanes is erratic and creates unpredictable situations that can lead to crashes. Honking, especially in a hostile manner, is often used to intimidate other drivers rather than to communicate a legitimate warning. When these behaviors occur together, they show an intentional, unsafe effort to bully or pressure others, which is the essence of aggressive driving. The other options don’t fit this pattern as clearly. Safe, steady speed represents responsible driving. Inconsistent use of turn signals reflects poor signaling and impatience, not necessarily aggression. Parking in a reserved area is improper and disrespectful of rules, but it happens off the flow of normal driving and doesn’t illustrate aggressive driving on the roadway.
