Conduct Attitude - a key to staying safe on the road

These days we seem to all be in a hurry. The morning school run, home chore long night during peak traffic hours. It seems that there is little to enjoy driving. Everyone and everything seems in our path and we slow down. Soon, we become frustrated, even angry. Then another driver does something that we consider as annoying or ridiculous before us. In a blink of eye, we have become rabid. We seek revenge. Our actions can go as an offensive gesture, trying to "take revenge" the other driver through our own motor actions.

Optionally, reading the above, you can feel matches this description in your feelings or actions: If so, good. You are less likely to have an accident. If you recognize yourself in the above however, it may be wise to consider the following.

Allow more time for your trip.

Simply allowing an extra few minutes for your trip, you can find the driving less stressful and feel not hasty. Try leaving earlier or not promising to get somewhere by a specific deadline. Pressure can easily lead to frustration, and if so, the risk is also increased.

Treat the other users of the highway with courtesy

It is not nice to be the target for the ire of someone. Indeed, it could be very scary. In some places, it could be a charge of assault against an offensive driver. Let's be honest, everyone makes mistakes. A solution to become stressed and angry at the wheel would be to study the other road users that you wouldn't be considered as yourself. Perhaps they are inexperienced or have problems on their mind, for example. Instead note the bad habits of conduct in others, look for the good. It would be wise to review your own practices of conduct will not be perfect.

Put into Perspective at the wheel

Put the above into perspective will help you promote a more tolerant attitude. Most of us would not walk autour swearing or gestural brutally in others. Often, if we intervene before someone tell us sorry, they smile in recognition, and all this is forgotten. In our cars, if we react in the same way, we could just get to our destination in distress.
