Here are some tips to help you avoid succumbing to aggressive behaviors.

Give yourself time to get where you’re going, plan for and prepare for possible delays.

If you’re having a difficult or stressful day and feel angry and upset, don’t drive until you’ve had a chance to calm down.

Avoid speeding, weaving through traffic, cutting other drivers off and avoid making rude gestures or remarks.

If you made a mistake, try to apologize, possibly with a wave.

Call 911 immediately if you feel threatened or in fear for your safety.
