To which authority should aggressive driving be reported?

Reporting aggressive driving to the local Garda station or Traffic Watch is crucial because these authorities are responsible for maintaining public safety on the roads. Aggressive driving can lead to dangerous situations that affect not only the aggressive driver but also other road users, including pedestrians and cyclists. By reporting such behavior to the Garda, appropriate action can be taken, which might include increased patrols, awareness campaigns, or direct intervention if necessary.

While the Road Safety Authority focuses on broader road safety initiatives and improvements rather than specific incidents, and local councils may deal with infrastructure and road conditions, the local Garda station is specifically equipped to handle incidents of traffic violations, including aggressive driving. Reporting to an insurance company might be relevant in the event of an accident caused by aggressive driving, but it does not address the immediate need for intervention to prevent potential harm to others on the road. Hence, the local Garda station or Traffic Watch is the most appropriate authority for addressing and reporting aggressive driving behaviors.
