As drivers, we each have the responsibility to be as safe as we can on the road and as professional drivers, it’s critical that you keep your head in the game at all times. The best offense to road rage is to drive defensively. Err on the side of being courteous to your fellow drivers. Maintain proper speeds. Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. Always signal before changing lanes. We can’t control other drivers’ behaviors but road rage is a controllable event. We have a choice over whether to engage in aggressive behaviors or retaliate against an insult whether real or perceived.
