How to Combat Road Rage? – Be the Other Driver
We have all seen an aggressive driver, who roars past a little old man who is driving under the speed limit, who is shaking his fist and he is screaming for everybody to hear and he is telling things like “Get out of the way, you old fool!” or “They should not allow old farts like you to drive!”. They are really rude and they believe that they are the kings of the road, that they have all the rights and that nothing bad can happen to them!
Our opinion is that they should consider this: some day, if they are lucky enough and they do not have an accident, they will be like that old man! They should think that we all get old and that someday these things could happen to him! So, one of the methods that could help aggressive drivers become more relaxed is seeing themselves as the other driver and put themselves in his shoes.!
Then they should ask themselves the next question: “How would I want the other drivers to act with me?” Well, I am sure that the answer would be ” Not with rage!”
In order to understand the others we just have to imagine that we are them and imagine how are they feeling when we are telling them all those malicious things! We should understand them and appreciate the fact that they can do this even if they are old, we should appreciate the fact that they are much more calculated and much more careful than us.
