Heart pumping, veins bulging, blood pressure rising, fists clentched, yelling insults through your closed windows; another driver has just cut you off in heavy traffic. Have you ever experienced road rage? If you answered no, then you might be in denial like I was. Road rage is when a driver becomes enraged and commits aggressive acts toward another driver such as: rude gestures, accelerating, quick lane changes, physical attacks, violent honking, making threats, screaming, and swearing. I didn’t believe that I was a road rage driver until I was stuck in traffic behind someone driving 10 miles below the speed limit and I violently switched lanes to get around that person. I might have even swore once or twice. But who doesn’t right? I realize now that I, along with many other people, let the anger takeover because of stress, running late, driving behind an unexperienced driver, and driving in heavy traffic. Road rage has even become so common that it has been diagnosed as a mental disorder called intermittent explosive disorder.
Any driver can be affected by road rage. It is said to affect approximately 16 million Americans and is increasing by 7% each year. Stop denying that you may take part in the road rage phenomenon and start coping with it. Here are some tips to help keep the road rage away:
1. Allow yourself extra time to get to your destination so you aren’t in a rush.
2. If you start to feel angry at another driver, take deep breaths. If you can’t reduce the anger, pull over until the anger subsides.
3. Don’t drive when you are extremely stressed or emotional.
4. Make sure that you get enough sleep so that you aren’t cranky.
5. Listening to relaxing music will help keep the blood pressure low and you calm.
6. Drive in a car that is reliable and can get you where you want to go without any issues.

5 Money Saving Tips For Purchasing Your Next Car
Before buying your next car, there are a few things you should consider before walking into the dealership. Below are 5 MONEY saving tips that can save you hundreds, perhaps thousands on your next automobile purchase:
First off, you should look at the dealership’s online inventory. Most often than not, internet deals can get you a better price. When you arrive at the dealership, inquire about the car and mention you saw it online.
Second, if you plan on trading in an automobile, get a full detail first. You can add hundreds on the value of your trade juts by spending a few bucks on a full detail. Dealers pay a lot to have your car professionally detailed. By taking the initiative to clean your vehicle, you’ll add value to your car
Third, be honest with the salesman. They want to get to your business. There is no need to keep numbers from them. If your price range is $10,000, tell them that information. Chances are that they are willing to negotiate.
And lastly, persuade the salesman with kindness. Don’t walk into the dealership with an attitude and demand thousands off right off the bat. The salesman will cooperate with you more if you’re kind. Treat them how you would want to be treated.
Use these tips and you're sure to get a great deal! Especially if you come to Basil Resale Sheridan!
