Road rage can escalate

Road rage can occur unexpectedly and can quickly escalate. It’s crucial to remain calm while driving, especially on chaotic Indian roads. Here are some tips to avoid a road rage incident:

Driving should be a relaxing experience, so try to stay as relaxed as possible. Turn on the music and air conditioner to help you relax, take deep breaths, and take it easy. Maintain a good mood while on the road.

Stay within the speed limit, use turn signals when changing lanes, check your rearview mirrors regularly, and allow for mistakes or aggressive behaviour by other drivers.

In other words, try to be as courteous as possible. Even with your utmost efforts to drive smoothly, you may come across overly aggressive drivers on the road. These drivers may exhibit behaviours like excessive honking, tailgating, gesturing and using profanity, weaving or straddling lanes, sudden acceleration, and abrupt braking.

In such situations, it is best to simply let these reckless drivers go and hope that karma catches up with them. It’s not worth your time or energy to try and teach them a lesson or engage with them. Instead, try to divert your mind and think about your loved ones to quickly calm your nerves.
