Never use the Car Horn to Express Emotion

While driving in SW Florida I sometimes witness a careless driving act where two cars almost collide. The "violated" driver sounds the horn to get the violators attention and avoid a collision. Good, that is what the horn is designed for.



However, many other drivers continue to blow the horn even after the danger is cleared. Wrong action that defines road rage. This action can also cause certain gestures and even escalate to violence.



Here is a driving tip. Just breath, inhale...exhale...repeat.



There is little to be gained by escalating this incident. Are you trying to start a fight? Are you ready for a gun battle? Even if you win the fight you will face a lengthy trial and certain prison sentence. Why?



As a former police officer named Chuck F. told me his driving tip. Think of the acronym FIDO, which stands for: Forget It, Drive On.

Excellent advice to avoid an even worse situation than the collision itself.
