A Better Way to Handle Road Rage

DALLAS MORNING NEWS – (WBAP/KLIF) – Dallas Police now report 17 road-rage related homicides since just 2021. With road rage becoming more common and dangerous across North Texas and nationwide, University of Texas psychology professor Art Markman weighs in on the best ways to stay away from trouble if it finds you while on roadways.

Dallas Police report 17 road rage homicides since just 2021. Art Markman, psychologist with the University of Texas at Austin, suggests you don’t inadvertently escalate anger by honking your horn or using a hand signal to indicate your frustration. Instead, he says, move away from the angry driver and use your turn signal when you do it. Don’t tailgate, don’t cut someone off, and physically move away from the danger by slowing down, or turning onto a side street. Call police to report the danger before it becomes a problem for someone else.
