THREAD - How to avoid road rage?
1. Don’t drive/ride while experiencing intense emotion
If you had a frustrating day at work or got in a fight with a dear friend, you might not be in the best headspace to get behind the wheel. If you’re already angry or upset, don’t drive.

2. Give yourself time to get where you’re going
Before you get behind the wheel, create realistic expectations about ur travel. If u need to be somewhere at a specific time, make sure u factor in expected traffic. Planning & setting expectation can reduce ur stress!

3. Build positive driving habits
Don’t speed through traffic or weave between vehicles. Avoid cutting other drivers off and making rude gestures or remarks. These behaviors are dangerous, not only for yourselves but other commuters on the road

4. Only use your horn if necessary
Car horns are just one small hand movement away, but they’re primarily designed for emergency use. Lay off the horn and show them a little grace

5. Be understanding of other drivers
Before you allow your frustration to build, try putting yourself in the other driver’s seat. If you remind yourself that other drivers aren’t perfect or out to get you, it can help prevent you from responding aggressively

6. Remove yourself from the situation
Avoid drivers exhibiting dangerous behavior however you can. Dangerous behavior includes tailgating, aggressive braking or swerving. Create distance between yourself and the aggressive driver by getting over to let them pass or slowing down

7. Ignore them if they’re being rude
Ignore angry gestures. You don’t want to escalate the situation, and you never know what could set someone off and make them become violent.

8. Call for help if necessary
If you’re an angry driver’s target, call 112 & drive to a public location or your nearest police station. Even if an aggressive driver is only targeting 1 vehicle, they’re a threat to every1 on road. Calling the police helps ensure everyone’s safety

9. Apologize after a mistake
No driver is perfect, so always apologize when you make a mistake. If you inadvertently proceed without the right of way, or get too close to the car in front of you, a friendly wave and smile can help keep everyone calm,

10. Play calm/soothing music in the car
Study says if you listen to calm or soothing music such as rain forest sound, birds chirping sound etc, it can help you calm yourselves. This may also help avoid road rage or keep a check on your frustration levels
