How to Prevent Road Rage

[oldblue]

enroll in a yoga class, when i was still doing yoga di umiinit ulo ku....minumura mu sila calm parin yung face mu hahahaha kidding aside, yoga did helped in my outlook in life, more relaxed lifestyle plus better results in my sports

play some jazz or blues in your car stereo, although it's proven that rock music actually increases reflexes during driving. it also helps if you're driving a new car

effective ba ito yoga class, parati may class na ganyan sa gym namin pero usually mga girls lang ang participants. nahihiya kami sumali

Newbie here!

I always remind myself of the following so I will never succumb to road rage:

1. I am a better driver than the a** h*** that committed the offense. If I give in to road rage then I am no different from him.

2. How you drive is a reflection of your mental & emotional condition. In other words the more angst, baggages, frustrations, deprivation and less control you have in your life the less considerate you will be in your driving and the more prone you will be to road rage.

3. Always remind yourself of the big picture - your mission in life and what makes you happy. Trust me, road rage has no relevance to it.

4. Be thankful for your blessings whatever it maybe and boast about it as if the other driver is with you just to release the anger. Example;

a. You may have a better car - pangit ng kotse mo kaya ka ganyan mag drive....

b. You may be a boss - kaya ka nagmamadali kasi may time card ka.....

Pag talagang hot headed ka.... mahirap gamutin yan.... me mga tao kasi talagang maiinintin ang ulo. Yun bang maliit na bagay lang ay galit agad. Kailangan siguro ay dagdagan mo ang pang unawa mo at pasensya.

Sama 'ko dyan

Kahapon for the first time papasok ng office di ako napamura but yun pauwi that's another story. Singing helps but not when freakin bus is off the yellow lane para makipaggitgitan

[Flagg]

Ako dati grabe sa road rage, minsan aabot sa todo habulan/gitgitan (pati batuhan ng piso... haha, strange but true). Then I realized something mga 5 yrs ago...

You drive cuz you want to get from Pt. A to Pt. B in the most timely & efficient manner. Road rage is not efficient, therefore I don't do it. Ganun lang kadali yun.

Kahit minsan e todo na me kina-cut, pinapabaya ko ngayon cuz the sooner he passes, the sooner I can move. Kung nakaharang, e di iwasan. Of course, modesty aside, naiiwan ko naman mga ogags na yon. Usually mga kups e ang tanga mag-drive, dali lang iwanan, or kung talagang hataw-preno, maiiwanan nila you. In any case, the kups is gone, and you are left on your merry way.

P.S.: getting married isn't necessarily the answer... yung misis ko e sya pa yung mapipikon at lalabas ng boga. Ehehe.

singing is not really helpful. coz you get interrupted two times: your singing and your driving

[doofy]

mahirap maiwasan and road rage especially in manila, but i can minimize by drinking cold drinks and eating mint candy.

[batang_raon14]

Good point, kung lahat lang sana ganun magbigayan. And somehow sana sila din wag madali, kung may bus sa harap nila na prumeno wag sila mag swerve agad na parang walang ibang taong gustong umuwi na din. A lot of this may be just instinct, like if there's something blocking your path then move left or right and not necessarily stop.

i just ignore dumb drivers. if i sense a driver who has a tendency to switch lanes at his own convenience, i veer away. mainitin din ang ulo ko dati; kaya lang, it's very unhealthy to blow your top everyday. those dumb drivers will pay their dues naman sooner or later

[moneywhiz]

sa akin, whether i commit the "stupid" act or somebody else did, isa lang gagawin ko: i wont have eye contact.....Life is just too precious to lose it on road rage

[Kicker15]

well in general pag mainit yung weather mas mataas yung posibility na magaway ang tao and that can lead to road rage.

what i do is stay calm and cool and just listen to cool music.

ganda ng thread na to

[BlueJazz]

Dati rin grabe ang road rage ko..puro busina..kahit kanino galit..pero i-compare nyo na maging hot and cool driver ng magkaibang araw.. mapapansin nyo wala halos difference sa total travel time nyo.. not worth it uminit ulo mo sa mga jeep, bus at tricycle.. isipin mo na lang na private car ka.. pag dating mo sa bahay magpapahinga ka na kasama pamilya mo..yung mga driver hanggang gabi pa yan mamamasada at walang pang matitira sa kinita nila dahil sa boundary..nakakaawa din

[empy]

don't read The Goon Squad forum

just reading the stories contained therein is enough to give you road rage sitting behind your pc :lol:

[XTO]

iwas na lang, wala rin eh lalo kung taxi, fx, jeep or bus. isip ko na lang sana mabangga kayo ng katulad nyo. kaya pag nakakakita ko ng banggaan pos parehas sila say taxi, jeepney talagang hinihintuan ko pa sabay comment "mga suwapang kasi kayo eh" tama yan! sabay layas

[seonadancing]

Well iniisip ko kung babangain ko yun bus, taxi, o jeepney, sisiguraduhin kong di na sya makakapasada para wala silang kitain. Ako pwede pa ako mag MRT. Nakakainit nga ng ulo magbasa ng mga good squad stories, pero like i said sa other thread, yun mga tanong matino mag drive yun pinaka naaapekto ng mga ogag drivers.

Mapansin mo yong car na nagmamadali at parating nag cut in ng lanes at may pa blink2x pa kasi nagmamadali daw sya.. eh.. para sakin pasensya ko nlang.. ayaw ko ng hastle eh so first plang nakita ko car na ibang movement nya Ill stop on the side and Ill give him the way to overtake me.. Pride lng po kasi yan eh.. patient is a virtue..

Pero if prehas tayo nag mamadali well broom! bahala ka sa buhay mo ma una na ako..
