The situation on the roads is pretty sad.

We're tired of it.

Wouldn't it be so much more pleasant to share the roads with friends instead of enemies? The problem is that we all drive like jerks sometimes. Think about how you react when certain things happen.

If you want to reduce the number of jerks on the road, you have to start by reducing your own jerky behavior. And the first thing you need to do is: calm down. Relax. Plan to be nice to people during your drive. Commit yourself to making the world a better place.

Then, try to react to "frustrating" situations as you would if you were walking instead of driving. If someone almost bumped into you on the sidewalk, would you call him a jerk and make obscene gestures?

In fact, you'd probably say, "Excuse me," even if he or she was, "in the wrong."

So, here are a few more humble suggestions for making life on the road a little more tolerable.
