applying your smart driving skills Strategies: preventing aggression 112 Sharing the road means  considering other drivers.  What messages do your  actions give to other  drivers? Help prevent other drivers from becoming frustrated or angry: • Know the rules of the road and follow them.  • Keep a generous following distance.  • Give the right-of-way.  • Move over for merging traffic.  • Signal your intentions.  • Pull over to let other drivers go by if there is a line of  vehicles behind you.  • Keep your headlights on low beam unless you’re in an unlit area.  • Keep your car stereo turned down.  • Don’t block passing lanes.  • Don’t take more than one parking spot.  • Don’t use your horn unless it’s really necessary.  • Don’t park in spaces reserved for people with  disabilities if you’re not entitled to use the space.  • Don’t yell at other road users.
