Many traffic offences could be avoided by taking a more proactive approach to driving and staying calm. Road rage can affect a person’s ability to drive in a careful and considered manner, often resulting in motoring offences being committed that are completely out of character. Here are some ideas for staying in control:
Always plan out your route in advance. If you are travelling to an appointment, carry out a test run at a time when you have no time demands if possible.
On the day of your journey listen to the radio for any traffic updates, or look online to see if there are any road closures on your planned route. Opting for the shortest route can sometimes be fraught with stressful situations due to heavy traffic.
Drive in a gentle and considered manner when driving somewhere new. If the weather is poor then accelerate gently, brake with care and turn slowly.
Keep an eye on the speed limit in areas that are new to you. It’s easy to get caught out on an unfamiliar road.
Give yourself plenty of time to get there. Most accidents happen when drivers are more concerned about the time than their driving. Leave much earlier than you would normally so that if there are any traffic build ups or road closures you have the time to deal with it.
Always keep calm and be aware of the road ahead. Try to judge what is coming ahead rather than reacting quickly, which could cause you to lose control of the car and have a collision.
Be aware of other drivers around you and drive carefully. You can never pre-empt what action another driver will take, so never take a risk.
Only make essential journeys at times of peak traffic.
