What are ways that we, as a society, can learn to control road rage?

Question

I feel the epidemic of road rage is a problem that we must learn to deal with. The roads are getting any larger so we must learn to share it. How do you control your anger when you're on the road?

Answer 1

I try and listen to music and distract myself. If I think about the cars around me too much I shift into competitive mode. That combined with the built up stress of the workday can be a bad combination.

I breath deeply listen to music and remind myself that everyone is just trying to get home.

Answer 2

I gave up the 90 minute commute for a 30 minute one. Much better. Less time to build up steam, so to speak.

Answer 3

Fly my airplane instead of driving.
