I have noticed that lately I am seeing a lot more vehicle accidents happening while I am out and about driving. Yesterday (Sunday July26), I saw 1 – 4 car accidents, and 1 – 2 car accident plus the police and ambulance were attending to a person that was riding a scooter. Over the course of 3 days, I can honestly say I have been cut-off by other vehicles at least 3 times.

Are we not paying attention to the road and people around us? Are we constantly busy multi-tasking while driving to try and fit in as much as we can in the 24 hours that we call a day? Do we all have so much on our minds that a brief lapse in concentration happens?  Or trying to get from point A to point B in the shortest & quickest time slot available to us? AND NO PEOPLE….TAILGATING TO GET THE PEOPLE TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY IS NOT THE ANSWER EITHER. I know I have been in this situation.  I leave a few minutes later than normal for work and stress that I am not going to get to work on time.  But I try to be courteous of people on the road as I would like them to do the same.

What can we do to alleviate some of the stresses we put upon ourselves then take out onto the road to be shared with other people.  How do we get to where we want with little or no stress put on us or others?   I always want to stop suddenly to shake the person up.  But then I think quickly about what if he/she doesn’t stop and an accident is caused.  I would feel aweful if someone was hurt because of this.

Share with me your tips for having a stress-free drive while out on the road!
