If you are one of the many Americans with road rage, it is time for you to take control of your anger and become a more courteous driver. Take these 7 helpful tips with you on the road to lessen your road rage:

1. Without sufficient sleep, we tend to get a little cranky. Be sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep to keep yourself in a good mood the entire day.
2. Plan ahead so that you are not constantly rushing around town trying to get to your next destination.
3. While many of us jump into our cars and drive when we are in a bad mood, try to refrain from doing this because it often leads to aggressive driving.
4. Refrain from listening to aggressive music while driving.
5. If you notice yourself swerving around slower drivers and tightly gripping the wheel, take a deep breath and calm yourself down.
6. Remind yourself that the person who cut you off is likely in a terrible mood and you never know what their situation may be.
7. Be a kind driver and you will likely receive the same treatment from others on the road.
