Do you know how some individual cuts you off, slows down as you are about to pass, drives below the speed limit in the left lane, doesn't signal, is on the phone, and gives you the familiar tightening sensation and red tint to your vision? You feel nervous and angry just reading that, don't you?According to one study, more than half of all drivers have at some point displayed signs of road rage, although not all of them have rammed into the offender's back bumper, drawn a gun. Still, aggressive driving, which is also a major source of accidents, results in tens of thousands of collisions every year.Road anger is frequently made worse by outside variables we encounter every day. They frequently emerge in various situations while you are under stress in other aspects of your life.If You are Prone to Road Rage<ul><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Get enough sleep; a lack of it causes loss of control.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Limit alcohol consumption since, according to Cadell, it might cause rage (not to mention impair your driving in other ways).</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Travel to your destinations early. You won't mind the 10-second delay as much.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Put on calming music. This is quite beneficial.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Drive carefully at all times.</li></ul>When a Road Rager Threatens YouAccording to Markell, "people do some weird stuff." "They push you, push others off the road, pull out a gun, shout, and make hand motions." They become uncontrollable. "It also applies to women."Therefore, it is the victim's responsibility to maintain control. Markell suggests:<ul><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Change lanes if you are being tailgated.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Slow down and let someone by if they wish to.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Reject hand motions.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">If necessary, drive off the road or take an exit and let them pass. Always stay behind the irate person, since they can do less harm if you are behind them.</li><li style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Keep your eyes closed.</li></ul>Irresponsible road usage, which we know adds immeasurably to our dismal road safety record, must be recognised and made a national priority, much as is the fight against Pandemic.&nbsp; The road user must in effect be coerced into complying with traffic laws and correct traffic etiquette must be vigorously promoted.
