Here are few tips that may help in dealing with traffic congestion and avoid an accident:
• Plan ahead of time. Leave for your destination early. If traffic gets heavy, the fact that you gave yourself extra time to get to your destination will allow you to still arrive on time.
• Follow the speed limit. Following the speed limit will ensure the proper flow of traffic. Streetlights in many areas are timed, so driving at the posted speed limit will help you get more green lights. In addition, driving the posted speed limit will help you maximize fuel economy. You car burns more fuel with quick starts and stops and will ultimately suffer extra wear and tear.
• Search for alternate routes. Go online and look for other routes that you could take to avoid high traffic prone areas. If you know of alternate routes before getting behind the wheel, you can save yourself a lot of time if you come across an accident or any other unexpected delay.
• Ignore rude motorists. It’s best to remain relaxed and take the “higher road” when someone is driving aggressively or poorly. If you engage by giving a rude gesture, shouting or driving aggressively, it will most likely make the situation worse and even dangerous.
• Allow yourself to be late. Sometimes you have to accept the fact that you’re late and you can do nothing about it. It’s better to arrive late and alive than be agitated, stressed or a victim of a car accident.
