According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, road rage and aggressive driving are two of the top concerns facing today's drivers. In today's fast-paced world, it is all too easy to become worked up if your commute is taking a little longer than expected. Even if you remain patient, there's no guarantee that everyone else behind the wheel will be driving in a courteous manner. Traffic jams make driving a tedious task, and can increase drivers' stress levels, resulting in road rage. If you drive today, it is nearly impossible to escape the consequences of enraged drivers on the road. How do you avoid becoming a road rage victim?
First, understand the importance of your driving style. If you know you are a slower driver, keep to the right lane, to avoid agitating drivers who want to speed past you. Use your turn signals, and do not cut anyone off, even if it means missing your exit. Be aware of other drivers on the road, and do your best to interact with them in a positive manner, no matter how they are acting towards you, rather than doing something that will upset them further.
Watch out for other drivers who may be driving in an unsafe manner. Expect the unexpected, and be prepared for other drivers to make mistakes. If you see someone driving in an unsafe or erratic manner, call 911 on your cell phone, rather than trying to stop them yourself. By alerting police to such drivers, you may be able to stop someone else from becoming the victim of a driver with road rage.
Never confront agitated drivers or make eye contact with someone who's getting upset on the road. Even if you've been cut off, resist the urge to make any hand gestures at the driver, as you'll risk escalating the situation. If an enraged driver starts to follow you, remain calm. Change lanes to let them pass. If a driver refuses to go around you, and instead seems to be following you or looking for a confrontation, do not weave in and out of traffic in an attempt to lose them, even though this works in the movies. In real life, you risk causing an accident or making other drivers mad at you.
If you are being followed, go with the flow of traffic, and head to a place where you feel safe. Call 911 on your cell phone, and don't stop unless you are in a well-lit location with lots of other people nearby. If the enraged driver rams your car or you must otherwise stop for any reason, be sure to have your pepper spray canister or stun gun ready. You never know what the other driver could be thinking. Do not leave your car to approach him; if anyone from the other car approaches you, neutralize the threat as soon as they are within the range of your self defense device. Do whatever is necessary to avoid a face-to-face contact with someone experiencing road rage.
The majority of motorists are likely to experience the effects of road range at some point. This situation can be very dangerous, but it is important not to panic. While you're still on the road and in a populated area, you are still safe. Avoid further enraging drivers with road rage, and never become involved in a physical confrontation with them.
