Every year, thousands of people are killed or injured in car wrecks caused by aggressive driving. As you all may know, this type of driving is known as road rage.

Sleeping is a contributing factor to road rage. Without getting the accurate amount of sleep the night before, it can make us cranky. Road rage makes us prone to feelings of annoyance, resentment and even anger. Getting at least eight hours of rest each night is the recommended daily dose of sleep for adults.
2. Plan Ahead
How are you in the morning as you’re preparing to leave? Do you regularly rush through your morning routine, trying to make up time while on the road? Or do allow just enough time to drive to your appointment? Either way, you are prone to a loss of temper.
