Ah Traffic, can there be anything more aggravating than watching a seemingly endless queue of petrol gobbling commuters. But hey traffic is common, nobody likes it, and we have to live with it (this is the hardest part to deal with). Traffic doesn't affect just drivers but also public transport users, it gets really annoying when you pay for public transport and its late or takes longer than expected to reach your destination, and you get the blame when you arrive late.
So I'll just provide you with a few tips to calm your nerves before you start hurling the nearest objects you find in your car at the driver in front of you.
Tips to note would have to be:
#1: Get your hand off the horn, doesn't help anyone or your blood pressure for that matter.
#2: Try to calm yourself down, if you start getting angry and it affects your driving. It'll only make it worse if you hit another person's car (just hope your stronger than the driver is, so you won't add a medical bill to the list).
#3: You should already be driving slowly, but if you find yourself getting bored and restless then I recommend you find something to do in the meantime that does not interfere or distract you from driving. Something like finding a radio station you like, there is however little that you can do legally in the car nowdays. If you're on public transport, then read a book, listen to your music the possibilities are large compared to driving.
Traffic can be quite cumbersome at times but you have to live through it in order to survive typical suburban life. I hope my tips have helped.
Yours Truly
