8 steps To avoid becoming an aggressive driver

To avoid becoming an aggressive driver:

1. Allow enough travel time to reach your destination on schedule.
2. Adjust your schedule to prevent driving during times with the most highway traffic
3. If you are late, call ahead so you can relax.
4. Do not drive when you are angry, upset or very tired.
5. Make your vehicle comfortable. Listen to relaxing music and prevent conditions that make you anxious.
6. When you drive, relax and be aware of how you sit. Sit back in your seat, loosen your hold on the steering wheel and do not grind your teeth.
7. Be polite, courteous and forgiving to other drivers.
8. You can control how you react. If another person drives aggressively, do not do the same.

If you have the right-of-way, do not think of it as a complete right. Be prepared
to yield the right-of-way to other highway users. To wait a few seconds for another
driver is far better than to risk a crash.
