Road Rage

Driving is perhaps one of the most enjoyable tasks on the planet. As a driver, the world is your oyster and no destination is too far. However, in some stressful scenarios driving can become much more of an irritation. As human beings fuelled with emotion, it can sometimes be difficult to control certain responses, a major one being road rage! Learn how to keep calm when driving with the help of Walsall Wood Tyre & Service’s handy little guide!

1. Regulate your breathing

A simple method of obtaining a calm and clear mind while driving is to regulate your breathing. A simple bodily function capable of soothing even the most aggressive driver, regulating your breathing will ease the stress of the situation and make it unbelievably easier to make decisions and choose the best course of action within the moment.

2. Avoid unnecessary risks

Avoiding stressful scenarios as a whole is a good way to prevent excessive or otherwise preventable stress. As a driver, you may not be in control of the entire driving population but you are in control of your vehicle. Refrain from speeding or driving erratically in order to promote a positive, relaxing driving experience.

3. Plan your journey beforehand

Avoid longer journey durations and traffic jams by always planning your route before setting out. Use local news and mobile phone apps to stay on top of any incidents in your area, allowing you to plan your trip efficiently while avoiding any factors which may increase stress levels.

4. Be aware of other drivers

As mentioned earlier, a driver is only in charge of their vehicle. The actions of other road users may cause emotional discomfort when driving, always be aware of those around you. A simple, honest mistake may infuriate you and may make you question the other driver’s ability but keep it to yourself or report them to the correct authorities. DO NOT in any way attempt to confront or antagonise other drivers, it is not your place to nor is it beneficial in any sense.

If you are confronted by another driver, attempt to defuse the situation and keep your distance at all times. If the situation does not resolve quickly and amicably, contact the police immediately. If the driver continues to pursue you, locate your nearest police station and drive straight there.

5. Practice

A lot of driving stress stems from a driver’s
lack of confidence in performing certain maneuvers. As with anything in life,
practice ALWAYS makes perfect. If possible, identify any flaws in your driving
capabilities and strive to improve them. This is something drivers should
always aspire to do, even if you’re a Formula 1 driver, you can still
improve…

With these five tips, you’ll go from driving demon to automobile angel in next to no time! Do you have any secret methods of remaining calm when driving? Get in touch and let the Walsall Wood Tyre & Service Team know, we’re always looking for useful tips to pass on to our clients.
