239. Agressivité au volant
L’agressivité au volant est un comportement agressif, hostile ou intimidant d’un usager envers d’autres dans la circulation. Elle peut comprendre des coups de klaxon excessifs, le fait de suivre de trop près, des cris, gestes menaçants, le blocage d’un autre véhicule ou des manœuvres volontairement agressives. La colère réduit le jugement et augmente la prise de risques, transformant un conflit mineur en situation dangereuse. Les conducteurs doivent éviter la confrontation, rester calmes, garder une distance sûre et ne jamais répondre à l’agressivité par l’agressivité.
Is road rage a separate traffic offence in Belgium?
Road rage is not a separate named traffic offence under the Belgian Road Code. However, specific behaviour caused by road rage can violate traffic rules or other laws.
Can aggressive driving violate Belgian traffic rules?
Yes. Belgian road users must behave so that they do not cause danger or obstruction to other road users. Aggressive manoeuvres that create danger can therefore breach the traffic rules.
Does a driver have to remain in control of the vehicle in Belgium?
Yes. Every driver must be capable of performing the necessary driving manoeuvres and remain in control of the vehicle at all times.
Can you use the horn to express anger in Belgium?
No. Sound signals must be as short as possible and may only be used when necessary to prevent an accident or, outside built-up areas, when appropriate to warn a driver you intend to overtake.
Can tailgating or deliberately blocking another driver be a problem in Belgium?
Yes. Behaviour such as following another vehicle dangerously closely or deliberately obstructing another road user can create danger or hinder traffic and may violate applicable traffic rules.
Will Belgium’s new Road Code change the general rule on aggressive behaviour?
The same basic principle remains. Under the new Code of the Public Road, every road user must avoid causing danger or obstruction and adapt their behaviour to the traffic situation, visibility, road and weather conditions and other road users.
