Examples of Road Rage
How can YOU stop it?
If you are ever in a situation where you feel angry while driving, pull over to a safe spot and take a minute to cool down. That could be the difference between getting someplace successfully and not. Always consider everything!
If you see another driver having
road rage, remind yourself that the
other driver is just bad at handling
stress, avoid eye contact and
continue to practice safe driving
habits.
Is anyone doing anything about it?

Road rage can lead to accidents and even major fines! It puts you, your passangers, and the people around you in danger.
