Those who suffer from anger management issues may also find themselves on the road with a volatile mix of feelings. That’s why it’s important for drivers to do everything they can to calm down before getting behind the wheel. That might mean listening to a podcast or calming music, or it could be thinking peaceful thoughts or even breathing exercises. If that isn’t enough, it might be time to get help from a mental health professional.

A recent study looked at which states and cities are the most likely to experience a road rage incident. Queensland and New South Wales were the top two with almost a third of people from those states reporting having been involved in an aggressive driving incident. Houston, which has a number of congested freeways, came in fifth place. Fortunately, it seems that feelings of road rage have declined since the pandemic in 2020 and 2021, but there’s still much work to do to create safer highways.
