While we know this is annoying and can create road rage - we want to help you stay calm behind the wheel so you can get to your destination on time and safely. This week, we have a few tips to help keep your road rage under control and keep you focused on what really matters - the road ahead! So, take a look and come see our team when you’re ready to upgrade into a brand new Toyota! Be aware of rising anger Often times, the most obvious signs of road rage are often physical. These can be anything from tone of voice, language, gestures, or muscle tension. When you catch yourself feeling this way before it worsens, it will prevent anger from turning into aggression/ road rage which will keep you safe and focused on the road ahead of you! Take time to calm down If you feel yourself feeling angry, pull over and take some time to calm down. Whether you choose to pull onto the shoulder or pull off and exit, when it is safe to do so, we recommend taking a few deep breaths, recollect your thoughts, and wait until you are once again ready to return to the road. Be defensive If you ever come across an aggravated driver, it’s a good idea to let that person pass and be on their way. Do not try to tailgate or block traffic, as this could only worsen their behavior and put yourself and other drivers in harm’s way. Don’t take your eyes off the road, keep your distance and be alert of any sudden changes that may occur. Resist retaliation If someone is driving slow or cuts you off, you may want to honk your horn, scream, or use profane gestures. Not only will this make you look silly but it will aggravate the other driver and can lead to potentially dangerous situations. Avoid these gestures, honking, flashing your high beams. Keep calm and drive on - that’s all!

As a driver, it's crucial to be aware of motorcyclists and take extra precautions to keep them safe. Here are some tips for drivers to keep motorcyclists safe on the roads: Check your blind spots: Before changing lanes or turning, always check your blind spots to ensure there are no motorcyclists in your path. Avoid distractions: Avoid using your phone, eating, or engaging in other distractions while driving, as they can cause you to miss important details, such as a motorcyclist approaching. Anticipate their movements: Motorcycles are more agile than cars and can change direction quickly. As a driver, be prepared for sudden movements and adjust your speed and position accordingly. Use your signals: Use your turn signals and brake lights to indicate your intentions to motorcyclists, allowing them to react and adjust their position on the road. Respect their right-of-way: Motorcyclists have the same rights on the road as all other vehicles, but less protection. Be sure to respect their right-of-way for their safety and yours.
