aggressive driver

Honks and weaves

An aggressive driver is someone who operates a vehicle in a hostile, impatient, or reckless manner—tailgating, weaving through traffic, speeding, or making angry gestures at other motorists.

The term appears frequently in traffic safety campaigns and news reports: Police pulled over the aggressive driver after he cut off three cars.

Distinguished from road rage, which implies actual violence or confrontation.
