Increasingly crowded highways and traffic backups cause many drivers to lose control and become extremely aggressive. Aggressive driving is a real problem than can lead to serious accidents on the road.
If you encounter aggressive drivers, do not challenge them and stay as far away as possible. You may want to take down the license plate number and report their behavior to police. If you yourself happen to suffer from anger management problems while driving, here are some tips to help you cool off.

* Try not to run late - When you’re in a hurry patience is short and you are much more likely to become aggravated.
* Other drivers are not evil - Sometimes people make mistakes or they might be driving more slowly for a reason. Do not assume that they are just trying to annoy you.
* Try not to look - The most tempting thing when you’re passing someone who is annoying you is to shoot them a dirty look. Don’t do it! Doing so could trigger the other driver into more aggressive action.
* No gestures either.
* Tailgating is bad - Just because someone is driving slowly does not mean you should hang out on their back bumper.
* Someone tailgating you is worse - If someone is tailgating you, do not aggravate yourself and the other driver playing with your speed. Move out of the way and let them pass you.
* Do not honk your horn - It might make you feel better, but increases everyone’s stress level.
* Do not be a hero - If the other driver is being rude and starts to follow you, do not engage with him or her. Do not try to stop. Just keep your doors locked, give yourself room at intersections to drive away, and head to the nearest police station.
