As explained under section 784.021 Florida Statutes, aggravated assault is defined as:
(1) An “aggravated assault” is an assault:
(a) With a deadly weapon without intent to kill;
or
(b) With an intent to commit a felony.
(2) Whoever commits an aggravated assault shall be guilty of a felony of the third degree.
An example of aggravated assault related to road rage is when aggressive driving goes wrong. You may be stuck in a gridlock or trying to change lanes when another driver cuts you off and begins to tailgate and honk aggressively. If you or the other party attempts to use a firearm, weapon, or even your vehicle to cause harm, charges of an aggravated assault may be brought forth.
