On the road today there seems to be a growing trend of angry drivers who are not afraid of telling somebody precisely what they think of traffic using their fingers, their horns and their desperately loud voices. One of the problems with this type of expression is that lately it's been going overboard and it has turned into a war of weapons on the road. From angry people dropping rocks from overpasses to emboldened, fed up drivers who are carrying guns in their vehicles, there seems to be no end to the anger, frustration and violence on the freeways anymore. A veteran California highway driver myself, and having deterred myself from road rage for as long as I have been driving, I have a few tips for the common driver on how to avoid road rage and how to find your happy place while driving on some of the worst freeways in the country.

I avoid Atlanta traffic and the ill drivers as much as possible. I agree with your observations. Blinkers are not that difficult to master. Hands free devices are not that expensive. Personally, my kids and I have enjoyed many great books together on long and short rides. It has broadened my horizons as well as theirs.
