Coming close to an accident can be a really scary thing but it’s great you’re aware of your road rage and want to do something about it! Although you may have good judgment in other scenarios, road rage is what causes us to make knee-jerk reactions in the heat of the moment that can have a potentially fatal outcome.
On top of that, road rage can also increase blood pressure and have a massive impact on your ability to make quick decisions. As a result, you’re more likely to exhibit erratic behavior that you wouldn’t under normal circumstances.
When emotions are running high, good judgment becomes cloudy.
You may not be able to pinpoint where drivers with road rage are or when road rage is going to hit you, but you can keep yourself protected at all times from the wrath of the road-ragers. Car insurance super app
