4.8. Emotions

Emotions can have an effect on driving safely. You may not be able to drive well if you are overly worried, excited, afraid, angry or depressed.

• If you are angry or excited, give yourself time to cool off. If necessary take a short walk, but stay off the road until you have calmed down.
• If you are worried, down or are upset about something, try to keep your mind on your driving. Some find listening to the radio helps.
• If you are impatient, give yourself extra time for your driving trip. Leave a few minutes early. If you have plenty of time, you may not tend to speed or do other things that can get you a traffic ticket or cause a crash. Don't be impatient. Wait for a train to cross in front of you. Driving around lowered gates or trying to beat the train can be fatal.
