Dealing With Road Rage (PLR)

Road rage represents the culmination of an escalating sequence of aggressive behaviors doled out from one driver to another. This vigilante behavior has four levels of escalating retaliation:

• A single gesture, curse, or grimace delivered as punishment.

• Repeated exchanges of the same, together with diminished awareness of other sensory input, plus impaired judgment.

• Harassing the other driver through high beams, tailgating, halting the progress of their vehicle, edging them over, or abruptly stopping in front of him.

• Intentionally injuring the other driver's vehicle or person.
   

You may be guilty of some of these offenses, and it truly is perfectly normal to have an angry reaction to another driver’s infractions. When you let your own reaction escalate to that fourth level is when driving becomes dangerous.

Road rage doesn’t “just happen”. It’s a response to a behavior that you can’t control. What you can control is your own reaction. This book is a step toward becoming a better driver and a more courteous person when you’re behind the wheel.

“Road Rage: Own The Road With Defensive Driving” does so much more than just show you how to react to a bad driver. It tells you everything your driving instructor should have told you, but didn’t. This book will tell you how to:

• Recognize and deal with a drunk driver

• Be safe while parking

• Drive on ice

• Drive at night

• Report an accident

• Deal with a fatigued or sleepy driver
