For some people driving is a high stress environment. This could lead to aggressive driving, which often results in road rage. Road rage is very dangerous for you, your passengers, and other drivers. There are legal consequences as well as physical harm that can occur as a result of road rage. Here are a few ways you can prevent road rage and stay safe.
- Be patient while driving. Before you hit the road try to prepare for things like unexpected delays or other aggressive drivers.
- Avoid driving if you are already upset or if you are excited. When your mind is on other things it can take your attention away from the road.
- Listen to soothing, calm music.
- Don't try to race other cars. You won't win anything but you end up with a ticket. Don't get sucked into a racing contest with another car. Just let them go and keep your distance.
