The drivers of vehicles must have a behaviour that does not affect the smoothness and safety of traffic, that does not endanger the life or the bodily integrity of persons and that does not cause damage to public or private property. They are also prohibited from committing obscene acts or gestures, from uttering insults, from addressing offensive or vulgar expressions to the other participants in traffic.

Therefore, aggressiveness on public roads is not allowed, regardless of the attitude or behaviour of the other participants in traffic. One does not retaliate and does not adopt aggressive behaviour at some incorrect actions of some participants in traffic, such as when obscene signs are addressed to you, when the one in front moves with reduced speed without well‑grounded reason or when the others do not respect the traffic rules.

The correct answer is: B
