- Plan your route ahead of time so there is little frustration with directions.
- Make several stops to re-focus on long drives.
- Be courteous in busy intersections, and follow the rules of the road.
- Don’t get mad or retaliate towards other driver’s mistakes.
- Be safe out there…and remember, if you think you’re being followed, don’t drive home – go to the nearest Police station or busy public place.
