    Avoid Road Rage, Coexist Peacefully on Roads

     

    • Be calm, considerate and courteous.
    • Avoid confrontation. If the fellow driver behaves aggressively do not respond by blowing horn, following too closely, cutting them off or applying brakes; give such drivers ample space.
    • Don't take other driver's behaviour personally, he might have some reason to drive erratically
    • If you commit any driving error, apologise by simply waving your hands.
    • Do not follow too closely. Allow at least a three-second space between the vehicle ahead
    • If you feel you are being followed too closely, signal and pull over to allow the other driver to go by.
    • Do not make gestures that may offend others.
    • If you encounter an aggressive driver or someone you feel is under the influence of alcohol then it is best to let him go and maintain a safe distance.
    • Avoid getting into a competitive driving situation as competitive driving triggers off many road rage situations.
    • In the eventuality of you being a target of road rage stay inside the vehicle. Do not get into physical confrontation or take the law in your hands.
    • Remember driving is not contest. Hence, forget about winning.
