For many of us, sliding behind the wheel of our car is a fantastic way to unwind and relax. Yet for others, driving can be a source of frustration, stress and anxiety. Or worse still, road rage; turning the regular commute into the most fraught part of each day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worryingly, what we call \u2018Road Rage\u2019 plays a part in 66% of driving fatalities. Of 10,000 Road Rage incidents recorded during a seven-year period, 218 resulted in death and over 12,000 injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, with Road Rage clearly such a major problem on our roads, is there anything we do to change this? To find some answers, we\u2019ve looked into the most common symptoms that can cause Road Rage and explored some useful remedies. We\u2019re calling it our Top 10 tips for how to avoid Road Rage: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Road Rage Tip 1: Avoid competition <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s something about driving that can bring out a person\u2019s competitive edge. Quiet roads become drag-racing strips. Motorways turn into Formula One tracks. Roundabouts resemble chicanes. And our fellow drivers are all competitors in a race to the next junction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps it\u2019s this misguided need to \u2018win\u2019 that explains why drivers seem to duel over gaps in traffic, or become so defensive and aggrieved when another vehicle filters into their lane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Popular American motivational speaker Wayne Dyer once said\u2026 “If you change the way you look at things, the ways things look will change<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is especially true of your driving. So, in the spirit of change, try this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n –\tBy simply changing your daily drive from a competition you need to win into a shared experience with other drivers, you\u2019ll instantly cut your stresses.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n –\tStart co-operating instead of competing and you\u2019ll find it much easier to accept the behaviour of other road users.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– If there are no winners and no losers, what does it matter if another user squeezes into the lane ahead of you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Road Rage Tip 2: Ease the pressure <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Pressure can be extremely stressful. Yet in almost all circumstances, it\u2019s something we inflict onto ourselves. When we\u2019re driving, pressure mainly comes from our competition with time. It\u2019s us against the clock as we try getting to our destination by a specific deadline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, unexpected congestion, roadworks and slow-moving drivers can often get in our way, eating into our time and making us late. That\u2019s when we get stressed and angry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smart drivers will always build in a few extra minutes to help cope with these unexpected hurdles. With the buffer of a few spare minutes, you can stay calm even if you find yourself queuing in traffic, or held up by an incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If that doesn\u2019t work, just accept that you\u2019re going to be late. There are some things in life that are beyond your control. When this happens, simply pull over, call ahead to let people know you\u2019ll be delayed, then resume your journey. Stress-free! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Road Rage Tip 3: Avoid distractions <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Driving is such a physical and mental challenge. On busy roads, it can feel like we need eyes in the back of our heads (I suppose that\u2019s what our mirrors are for) and even the act of steering safely, braking and changing gears can be exhausting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet so much can distract us. Things we pass on the side of the road, a scenic view, radio shows and dramatic news bulletins; these can all take our mind off the task, turning minor driving events into potential hazards. Here are a few steps you can take to make things a little easier: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n –\tKeeping your mind fixed entirely on your driving, helps you focus on the journey and avoid sudden and unexpected surprises.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n –\tConcentrating on the road ahead and especially on the behaviour of other drivers, means you\u2019ll find it much easier to react and even predict things that happen.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– This gives you plenty of time to adjust your driving and gives you a much smoother and less fraught drive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Road Rage Tip 4: Ease tiredness <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
On early morning commutes or those busy evening trips home, tiredness can reduce your ability to concentrate. You\u2019ll find yourself easily distracted, irritated, and more likely to be offended by the actions of other drivers \u2013 which can see your stress and anxiety levels rising. To avoid these, here are a few suggestions: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Make sure you\u2019re well-rested and have had plenty of sleep ahead of any major journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n –\tTry to make your mornings as restful as possible too. Don\u2019t leap out of bed and straight into your car. Give yourself time to fully wake up.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n –\tIf you need an extra boost, try drinking a cup of strong coffee at least 30 minutes before you get behind the wheel.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember, tiredness can creep up on you, so if you suddenly feel yourself getting drowsy behind the wheel, don\u2019t think you can fight it off. Playing loud music or opening the windows won\u2019t work. The only solution is to pull over and recharge. Or drink coffee. However, it will take at least 30 minutes before the caffeine hits your system, so use that time to get 40 winks \u2013 a short sleep can work wonders! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Road Rage Tip 5: Control your reactions <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Travelling by car takes a lot of planning and control. We make sure our car is prepared. We choose our route. We even work out how long the journey might take us. So when things happen beyond our control, or some of that control is taken away from us by the actions of other drivers, no wonder some drivers become annoyed or upset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When congestion strikes, bad weather strikes, and especially when it seems like other drivers are conspiring against you, don\u2019t react. These are things you cannot control; no matter how much you kick and scream, rev your engine, or hoot your horn. Instead, focus on the things you can control \u2013 like your reactions and how you feel. Tell yourself you won\u2019t let it spoil your day. Tell yourself it isn\u2019t worth losing your cool over. After all, any other response is just a waste of energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Road Rage Tip 6: Don\u2019t take it personally <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Almost everybody has a tale to tell about road rage. People seem so angry and frustrated and stressed that this is hardly a surprise. And who better to take out that anger and frustration on, or to blame for it, than another driver. We need someone to blame, right? So when another driver makes the slightest mistake, or someone\u2019s driving doesn\u2019t meet our own super-high standards, we kick-off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many drivers, the car and the way they drive it is an extension of their personality and ego. People want to be noticed and respected, so when another driver cuts us up, or tailgates, or dares to over or even undertake, it\u2019s easy to take it personally and become offended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When this happens, try separating your car and driving from your identity. It\u2019s extremely rare that other road users try to deliberately upset you. Or ruin your day. Or personally disrespect you. Taking a moment to recognise this will help you stay calm in stressful situations and prevent you from contributing to road rage. And if another driver hoots or yells or rudely gestures towards you, ignore them. It really doesn\u2019t matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Road Rage Tip 7: Focus on yourself <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re a new or nervous driver, you might easily find yourself overwhelmed by today\u2019s busy roads; especially if you\u2019re commuting to work, or tackling an unfamiliar journey. Once you factor in additional elements such as aggressive drivers, bad weather conditions and the added pressure of reaching your destination by a specified deadline, it\u2019s hardly a surprise that driving can cause such anxiety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anxiety is just another word for fear, and fear is something we usually create inside our own heads. We tell ourselves stories and play movies in our minds, showing us all the things that \u2018could\u2019 go wrong. However, our future reality is rarely as bad as we imagine it to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One way to fight this is to focus on what is happening right now. If you\u2019re driving, concentrate entirely on that. Think about which gear you\u2019re in, how the car feels on the road, your speed, and particularly what the cars in front are doing. This way, you won\u2019t have time to worry about what \u2018could\u2019 happen if you encounter congestion, \u2018if\u2019 the weather gets worse, or the trouble you \u2018might\u2019 be in if an incident makes you late. By taking the journey moment by moment, you\u2019ll enjoy the drive and avoid the usual stress and anxiety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Road Rage Tip 8: Forgive other drivers <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Most of us think we\u2019re fantastic drivers. After all, we passed our tests (some of us on our first time!!!) and we\u2019ve been driving for years. So it can be a constant frustration when other drivers don\u2019t reach our standards. They make mistakes, cause problems, and create delays through their shoddy road skills. Most shouldn\u2019t even be on the roads!? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sadly, it can be so easy to think like this. We tell ourselves that we have to be perfect and we expect the same perfection from others. Yet is this realistic? Of course not. We all make mistakes or occasionally get things wrong. So we shouldn\u2019t be surprised when other people do too. In fact, we should understand that with thousands of human beings on the road at any one time, lots of them are going to make mistakes. Accepting this makes it easier to avoid getting angry or upset when it happens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Road Rage Tip 9: And\u2026breathe! <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This may sound like a clich\u00e9, but if you find yourself getting uptight, angry, frustrated or upset, simply relax. Take a number of long deep breaths; count slowly from one to ten; relax your hands on the steering wheel if you feel your fingers gripping too tight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re relaxed and calm, you\u2019ll be less likely to react with rage if another driver makes a mistake, or you hit congested traffic, or you take a wrong turn. What\u2019s more, by taking a number of long slow breaths you\u2019ll slow your mind and body down, plus pump more oxygen into your brain which will help you think a lot clearer. (Clear that read mist!!!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Road Rage Tip 10: Don\u2019t rely on technology <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In lots of ways, we\u2019re very lucky today. We have advanced technology to help us out with all kinds of things, especially our driving. Sophisticated SatNav systems are built into many new cars, helping us safely navigate even the longest journeys. Often, we take it for granted. Until that is, it malfunctions or doesn\u2019t work at all. When this happens and we find ourselves lost or widely off course, it\u2019s easy to panic and become stressed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One simple way to avoid this becoming a problem is to fall back on traditional methods. Buy a map book such as an A-Z and trace your route in that. Or use an online route planner to plot your journey and store a hard copy in your glove compartment. Knowing you have a plan B that does not rely on technology will at least give you peace of mind and prevent panic and worry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hope these Road Rage tips help. Of course, we don\u2019t expect you to try these all at once, but even if you experiment with one or two per journey, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll see a difference in yourself, your own driving and most importantly you\u2019re reactions to people and situations that might not go as planned. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
