Formula for Road Rage Cultural Norms of Disrespect Condoning Hostility + More Cars Less Space More Driver Interactions = Aggressive Driving and Road Rage Battles

Do You Drive Aggressively? Learning how to evaluate your driving space area is crucial.

The “Rush In” Area ·Constant rushing and lane jumping is your style. · Others are just in your way. Get ahead. ·Ignore road signs and regulations. · They’re for other drivers. · Driving with distraction, low alertness, inattention.

Managing Anger How would you like others to react if you did something dangerous like this? React the same way you would like them to react to your mistakes.
