Jenson, professor emeritus, Utah State University Extension and Family and Human Development Department We can blame the violent behavior some people exhibit with an automobile on a lot of things, but if each of us monitored our own behavior, the problem could certainly be reduced. Before taking to the highways, consider the following suggestions: Start early enough in your preparations for work or errand running that you have a few minutes to focus your thoughts on something calming and relaxing before you leave. Tell those around you how much you care for them prior to leaving. Your day will go a lot better and so will theirs. Leave home with ample time to arrive at your destination. If you are running behind, everything. that slows you down will become an irritant and a source of frustration to you. Recognize that if you are leaving home under stress, you are much more likely to act in an irresponsible fashion. Find ways to handle your stress other than behaving irresponsibly behind the steering wheel. If possible, arrange your commute at times when traffic is light. Create a relaxing envi- ronment in your car. Select calming music either from the radio, a tape or CD. Or, try singing songs that make you happy. Do not take traffic problems personally. Pause and marvel at how well most people obey the traffic rules. The majority of people are very courteous in their driving behaviors. If someone is observed driving aggressively, avoid eye contact and never make obscene gestures to show your frustration. Use your and spouse while driving. This will help them avoid road rage as well. Remember that being angry or frustrated is not healthy for you or anyone else. Arriving at your destination with added anger or frustration is not good for conducting whatever business you are there to do.
