Everyday, there are things that other drivers do that could make us upset, whether it is cutting us off, not using their blinker, tail-gaiting us, or anything else. We make the choice of how we are going to react in these situations. We can choose to act angry and upset or we can not let it affect our moods. This article will give steps on how to avoid road rage.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 

   When another driver does something that annoys you, stay calm. Don’t make any hand gestures that could make the other driver upset. Be careful of what body language you use as well.

2. Take a few deep breaths. This will help to keep you calm, collective, and cool.

3. Refrain from cussing at the other driver. Other drivers can often read your mouth and your body language. Cuss words are usually easy to tell.

5. Make it a habit to ‘keep your calm’ when other drivers do something that could make you upset or angry. Try do not provoke other drivers as well by not doing anything yourself that could cause road rage.
