WHAT IS ROAD RAGE?

Road rage is aggressive or angry behavior exhibited by a driver of a road vehicle. These behaviors include rude and offensive gestures, verbal insults, physical threats or dangerous driving methods targeted toward another driver or a pedestrian in an effort to intimidate or release frustration.

12 tips on how to avoid road rage:

1. Attitude. Driving is not a competitive sport. Stay calm and focus on getting from one place to another safely and try to forget about time if you are running late.

2. Smarts. One driver cannot fight alone. Do not allow yourself to get drawn into a confrontation because it can only end badly.

3. Courtesy. Error on the side of being courteous and kind to other drivers.

4. Turn Signal. Using your turn signal ensures that drivers around you will not be surprised by your driving.

5. Changing Lanes. Do not cut off other drivers and make sure you have plenty of room when you merge onto a highway.

6. Keep Up the Pace. Driving in the inner lane slower than the prevailing traffic is asking for trouble. Regardless of the speed you are traveling, move to the left lane if someone wants to pass you.

7. Tailgating. Not only does it greatly reduce your ability to respond to traffic, but tailgating can also annoy the other drivers around you. Keeping a safe distance never annoyed anyone.

8. Gestures. Do not make obscene gestures. Avoid any visible sign that you may be angry or frustrated and wanting to take that anger out on some one.

9. Keep Your Distance. If a driver is displaying signs of aggressive driving.

10. Ease Up. If someone cuts you off, then slow down and give them room. Their aggression may escalate if you respond in a similar way.

11. Get Help. If you think you are in serious danger, use your cell phone to call the police or drive to a heavily populated area.

12. Apologize. If you make a mistake, try to apologize with an appropriate gesture, such as a smile and a wave of the hand.
