Most of the time you\u2019re not doing a cool 25 miles hour down the road, there is a much greater chance that you are going anywhere from 40-65 miles an hour and in a split second something could happen and you could lose control. And don\u2019t even get me started on the driving skills of the other people on the road, right? So it\u2019s normal to have a little road rage pent up inside of you, right? WRONG! Defensive driving actually causes more accidents which is bad enough because people can get seriously hurt, but it also cost a lot of money to fix your car. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, do you want to get from point A to Point B a little happier than you usually do? If so, keep reading I have so great tips to help you stay calm behind the wheel! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be Prepared:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good day of drive starts the night before. You don\u2019t want to be drowsy and driving, it\u2019s unsafe. Plus, I\u2019m pretty cranky when I\u2019m tired and I bet you are too. So get a good night sleep!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slow down: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After drunk driving, speeding is the leading cause of car accidents. Plan ahead, give yourself buffer time in the case you hit traffic.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tune into calm sounds:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research has shown that listening to some types of music or conversational sounds help reduce stress. So replace your favorite album for some more peaceful sounds to keep you calm on your drive!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LIve and let live; <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are the ruler of your own tranquility. However, you do not own the road. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not hang out in the fastest lane or block people from passing because you feel your mission is to go the speed limit\u2014and ensure everyone else does. Slowing down traffic is not only impolite, it also leads to accidents as other drivers weave to get around you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know it isn\u2019t always easy to stay calm, hey we all let the stress of life get to us, but if we can find a way to remain calm when behind the wheel we can all have a safer drive from point A to point B. If you find that these tips aren\u2019t helping you may want to do more research on how to de-stress. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row blog_row\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"row blog_row\">\n<div id=\"featured_video\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mohawkautocenter.com\/searchused.aspx\"><button class=\"cta_button\">Find a car stress free, here!<\/button><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"social-media\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"find-us-live\" src=\"https:\/\/clients.oomdo.com\/blog_dev\/images\/find-us.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class='bookmarkify'><a name='bookmarkify'><\/a><div class='linkbuttons'><a href='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=https:\/\/www.mohawkautocenter.com\/blogs\/517\/safety\/calm-the-looming-road-rage-inside\/' title='Save to Facebook' onclick='target=\"_blank\";' rel='nofollow'><img src='https:\/\/www.mohawkautocenter.com\/blogs\/517\/wp-content\/plugins\/bookmarkify\/facebook.png' style='width:16px; height:16px;' alt='[Facebook] ' \/><\/a> <a href='http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/www.mohawkautocenter.com\/blogs\/517\/safety\/calm-the-looming-road-rage-inside\/&title=Calm The Looming Road Rage Inside' title='Share on LinkedIn' onclick='target=\"_blank\";' rel='nofollow'><img src='https:\/\/www.mohawkautocenter.com\/blogs\/517\/wp-content\/plugins\/bookmarkify\/linkedin.png' style='width:16px; height:16px;' alt='[LinkedIn] ' \/><\/a> <a href='http:\/\/twitter.com\/home\/?status=Calm The Looming Road Rage Inside+https:\/\/www.mohawkautocenter.com\/blogs\/517\/safety\/calm-the-looming-road-rage-inside\/' title='Save to Twitter' onclick='target=\"_blank\";' rel='nofollow'><img src='https:\/\/www.mohawkautocenter.com\/blogs\/517\/wp-content\/plugins\/bookmarkify\/twitter.png' style='width:16px; height:16px;' alt='[Twitter] ' \/><\/a> <a href='http:\/\/bookmarks.yahoo.com\/toolbar\/savebm?opener=tb&amp;u=https:\/\/www.mohawkautocenter.com\/blogs\/517\/safety\/calm-the-looming-road-rage-inside\/&amp;t=Calm The Looming Road Rage Inside' title='Save to Yahoo!
