The recent film ‘Changing Lanes’ brought into sharp focus the endemic disorder called ‘road rage’ with the number of vehicles increasing every day, it is on the increase all over the world. We can see clearly from the graph that the factors that compound road rage are: intolerance and lack of self-discipline, having a sense of superiority and control while driving, family and work stress, environmental stress, traffic jams and delays along with the absence of severe penalty for defaulters.
We need to remember that’ License to Drive is not a License to Kill’. To avoid road-rage a sense of discipline and responsibility has to be inculcated among all motorists.
We must pledge to know and abide by the traffic rules. Respect and courtesy to fellow drivers must be the norm. when leaving the house for an appointment, start early, in order to maintain your cool if there is a delay. Do not be on a short fuse while driving. Always measure your words and actions. Counting up to ten is a good rule of the thumb to avoid stress and unpleasant situations.
Every calm and disciplined driver helps to save precious lives. Always remember to: Be polite and share the Road rage will away.
Thank you and have a nice day.
