It’s hot, you’re running late, someone is tailgating you and you’re stuck behind possibly the slowest tractor in Essex County! Arg!
It’s a fact: Incidences of road rage increase as the summer heats up.
Hot weather, construction backups, slow-moving farm equipment, cyclists, erratic drivers can make tempers flare.
Don’t let road rage affect you
- Realize that traffic conditions and other driver’s poor behaviour is beyond your control
- Give erratic drivers all the room they need to behave badly
- Do not make eye contact, honk, or use hand gestures with bad drivers
- Be courteous and set an example - use turn signals, don’t tailgate and practice patience while on the road.
- Remind yourself that this feeling will pass.
Focus on the road and think of the good things in your life.
Drive safe Windsor - Essex!
