Dealing with anothers rage
Keep your windows rolled up and dont make eye contact Get moving and get away ASAP Never, ever get out of your car to confront the aggressor. Dont try to get even or teach them a lesson If you are being followed, dont attempt to drive home. Drive to the nearest police station or a public area. Always wear your seatbelt!

Dont allow driving conditions to put you in a road rage mindset. You cannot control the drivers around you, but you can control how they affect your well-being. Be calm and drive safely!
