• Plan ahead and anticipate delays.
• Focus on your own driving. Be cautious and considerate.
• Avoid creating a situation that may cause provocation.
• Give angry drivers plenty of room.
• Avoid eye contact.
• Use the left lane only when passing.
• Use your horn sparingly.
• Don't tailgate or flash your lights behind someone.
• Don't yell obscenities or make inappropriate hand gestures, and don't respond to drivers who do.
• If you're concerned for your safety, call 911.
