How do I stop being an aggresive driver?

Question

How do I chill out? I LOVE driving my car usually, and when people pull stupid or ignorant moves, I get all vigilante and try to "show them". Like when people pull out in front of me and I'm the only car on the road and slow me down,or stuff like that. I'll make a stupid pass or something.I know it's bad,so how do I remember to not get mad at them?

Answer 1

Answer 2

First get into a defensive driving class. Then if that don't help get into a Anger Management class. You may be suffering from a disorder talk to a doctor.

Let the little things go. The last thing you would want to do is give someone free money at your cost.

Answer 3

relax and smoke dope

Answer 4

When people learn how to drive is when you can not have to drive aggressively. But if your dealing with NYC drivers, you may be better off just moving away.

Answer 5

Grow up.  I realize that may take awhile,  but maturity is the best remedy for foolish behavior.

Or you could take the hard way and kill someone in an automobile accident.  Standing up in front of a jury facing vehicular homicide charges, that'll change your attitude quick.  

But it's best to just use the brains God gave you and think first.

Answer 6

take anger management course(s) as appropriate, and you need to change your attitude b4 you kill someone.

Answer 7

just slow down and think about what you are doing if you really want to change you will

Answer 8

Allow more travel time to get to your destination. It reduces stress dramatically.

Come to a full stop at red lights and stop signs. Never run yellow lights.

Let other drivers merge with you.

Obey posted speed limits.

Don’t ever follow other drivers too closely.

Resist temptation to teach someone “a lesson.”

Concentrate on driving — not on cell phones, stereo, passengers or other distractions.

Remember that you can’t control traffic — but you can control yourself, your driving, and your emotions.

Answer 9

calm down,

Answer 10

smoke some weed before you drive, you'll relax and just be chill driving.

Answer 11

After the cops give you enough tickets for driving too close, speeding etc. it will slowly become second nature to let it go. Assault  charges will get you there sooner, but I don't recommend that either, the food in jail sucks. Time for a little anger management therapy? I know several people that would benefit from that just to lower their blood pressure. Good Luck!

Answer 12

Stop and think. First of all, if you aren't aggressive, you'll get where you're going just fine. It may be two minutes later, but did you really have important plans for those two minutes?

Second, if someone stepped in front of you while you were shopping in a busy store, would you get all bent out of shape? Probably not. The other person would say "excuse me" and you'd shrug it off. Why is it different when you're in vehicles?

Third, realize that you obviously have a running feud going with everyone else out there on the road. There is no reason for it. They are not your enemies. You don't know them, they don't know you, and your paths will probably never cross again.

Relax, slow down, and turn the other cheek. You, your vehicle, and your wallet will be healthier.
