Road Rage: Where It Leads You To?

By Super Admin

Honk Honk Honk! The ultimate tantrum has casted its spell on us. We are left to begin our day with a repulsing head ache and unknown irritation. Have you ever thought why such an impatient behaviour happened at that traffic signal? It is the road rage my friend, which has overpowered the attitude of male race and spreading its ugly tentacles to female drivers also.

Before I start commenting on the road rage among the male race, let me specify that I don't neglect the road rage among female race. However, as you step out into the busy street before you, just look around and see who are honking, shouting and yelling at their co-drivers. What is the reason behind this pathetic behaviour of men? Let us analyze some root causes.

Yes, you are among those punctuals, who value time over any precious things. How can you bear with the lengthy traffic block that was not created by you? As you are irresponsible, you may manage to honk at the slow moving vehicles before you or to push them aside with your excellent driving skills. In this situation consider the attitude of the other driver and you may see a mirror reflection of your mind there.

You have never considered to stand second in your life time. In that case, how can you let a vehicle move ahead your cab or let another one to overtake you? Yes, it is time to bully the other drivers, honk your vehicle horn to the maximum and to push the other vehicles aside. There is a long road that stretches before you to prove your success.

“It's my grandpa's road" That is the attitude many men possess while they wheel their vehicles on the road. Whatever other people suffer, they may stop their vehicle at abrupt places or slow down their pace. How can they tolerate when other drivers throw tantrum at their peaceful advancement?

Most interestingly, the major victims of road rage are men themselves other than their female counterparts or kids. The men who suffer from road rage suffer an alarming shift in their blood pressure, emotional status and toxic emotions. The craving for vengeance or outbursts make them dangerous drivers leading to unavoidable accidents during their mood swings. On the other hand women and kids suffer from the sound pollution made from the impatient honking. The violent outbursts from road rage weaken them and many of them may fear even to touch the reel.

At this moment, each man should take an initiative to curb the road rage that has become a threat to the safe drivers. Control your emotions and respect the feelings of the society as you sit behind the wheel. Remembering the driving class rules will help you to curtail the road rage. If you have consumed alcohol, never even think of driving the vehicle and sit with closed eyes to avoid the road scenes that may agitate you. Always remember that you have a long stretch of road to drive through and don't let these unnecessary hassles tamper your opportunities.
