Who's driving the car behind?

If this bothers you in the mirror ...

By thinking differently about the 'idiots' on the road, angry drivers can gain the capability (see below) of controlling their feelings. It is difficult, if not impossible, to hold two conflicting ideas at once.

When we are thinking of the other driver in a humorous way, the humour will usually diffuse feelings of anger leaving us in a more useful state - free to make a more rational choice about our response.

A person who 'can't stand idiots on the road' will have nothing to be mad about when given a mental choice of humour - safe drivers don't get mad..

The NLP principle underlying the above is, 'If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got' - if you have a tendency to get annoyed with other drivers, doing what you've always done will result in reduced in safety.
