Road rage is a serious problem and it doesn\u2019t show signs of getting better. According to the American Automobile Association<\/em>, approximately 200 murders and 12,000 deaths over seven years were linked to road rage incidents. The NHTSA reported that 66% of traffic fatalities were the direct result of aggressive driving<\/em> and road rage. The Zebra conducted a study in 2019 that revealed that 82% of drivers committed an act of road rage.<\/p>\n

While you may not be able to avoid road rage altogether, there are some things you can do to reduce the number of road rage incidents you\u2019re linked to.<\/p>\n

Avoid driving when you\u2019re already on edge.<\/p>\n

The more irritated you are when you slide behind the wheel, the greater the odds are that you\u2019ll experience road rage during your commute. Try to calm yourself down before driving. Once you\u2019re on the road, take deep breaths and listen to soothing music or an uplifting podcast.<\/p>\n

Give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination. The tighter you are on time, the more recklessly you\u2019ll drive and the more irritated you\u2019ll be at other drivers. Giving yourself a good amount of time to safely reach your destination is one of the best ways to avoid road rage<\/a> incidents.<\/p>\n

Carefully choose your route before you leave. If you know you\u2019re already irritated, choose a route that has the least amount of traffic on it. The fewer cars you encounter on your drive, the more relaxed you\u2019ll be.<\/p>\n

Let things go while you\u2019re driving. There will be days when things happen that irritate you. Rather than letting them get under your skin and prompt you into doing something you\u2019ll regret. Take lots of deep breaths, practice defensive driving techniques, and focus on all the good things that are happening around you.<\/p>\n

When you encounter an angry driver, don\u2019t engage with them. Stay defensive and let them go ahead of you. Don\u2019t match their aggressive behavior with aggressive moves of your own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
