Though defensive driving is well known, it is equally important to drive courteously. By remembering the following, you can avoid getting in to situations that jeopardize you and other drivers.

1. When in doubt, let the other car go first.
2. Follow all traffic signs and indicators.
3. Give pedestrians the right of way.
4. Allow others to pass you by moving to right lanes.
5. Use your turn signal to indicate that you want to change lanes.
6. Maintain plenty of space between your car and the vehicle ahead.
7. Do not yell or make obscene gestures.
8. Try not to use your horn or high beams.
9. Be polite to other drivers
10. Keep your cool!

Most of all, keep in mind that no matter how rude the gesture or stupid the maneuver, road rage endangers you and your loved ones—stay calm, stay cool, and stay in one piece!
