When you get behind the wheel of a vehicle you bring with you a set of attitudes, habits and emotions. As you proceed down the road you encounter other drivers with their sets operating, too. If you want to arrive at your destination safely, then you are going to need to stay calm, focus on your own driving, and deal effectively with drivers who are NOT staying calm, focused, or effective.

Before you even get in the car you should have planned ahead to allow sufficient time, and perhaps even some extra time for problems like trains on crossings, traffic jams, construction zones. Being late and getting in a hurry makes drivers tense, makes them speed, and even become aggressive drivers.
