AAA of Michigan offers advice for motorists to protect themselves and maintain calmness on roadways.

  • Do not make obscene gestures.
  • Use your horn sparingly.
  • Don't block a passing lane.
  • Don't switch lanes without signaling.
  • Avoid blocking the right-hand turn lane.
  • Do not take more than one parking space.
  • If you are not disabled, refrain from parking in handicap spots.
  • Do not allow your door to hit the car parked next to you.
  • Do not tailgate.
  • If you need to drive slowly, pull over to allow traffic to pass.
  • Avoid unnecessary use of high-beam headlights.
  • Don't let the car phone distract you.
  • Don't stop in the road to talk with a pedestrian or other driver.
  • Don't impose loud music on neighboring cars.

Other Useful Attitudes
  • Assume other drivers' mistakes are not personal.
  • Be polite and courteous, even if the other driver isn't.
  • Avoid all conflict if possible. If another driver challenges you, take a deep breath and drive away.

Reduce Your Stress On The Road
  • Allow plenty of time for the trip.
  • Listen to soothing music.
  • Improve the comfort in your vehicle.
  • Understand that you can't control the traffic, only your reaction to it.
