Training Information - Surviving Road Rage
Managing High Stress Traffic Events
COURSE TOPICS
TRIGGERED IN TRAFFIC
A look at encountering driving behaviors that can lead to acute stress events or ultimately road rage.
WHERE THE STRESS COMES FROM
A discussion of the causes of stress in driving encounters as well as symptoms, warning signs and supporting conditions that can precede an aggressive reaction.
THE NATURE AND EFFECTS OF STRESS
A deeper look at stress as it relates to perception and reality.
OPERATION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM UNDER ACUTE STRESS
Understanding the emotional, cognitive and physiological impacts of a “triggering event”.
THE “PRIMITIVE” AND “EVOLVED” BRAIN UNDER STRESS
A look into how these two parts of the human brain function to address real threats well as today’s “symbolic” threats.
ANGER & STRESS AWARENESS
Sensing when a “triggering event” may be activating a potential aggressive reaction. Like being warned by a red light on the dash that caution needs to be exercised.
MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Once awareness has given us an early warning, the opportunity arises to employ techniques to lessen “reactivity”, calm down and re-think responses that will not involve aggression and that will, in the end, result in a positive outcome.
COURSE INFORMATION

Road rage training can be effective in reducing the occurrence
of road rage incidents.
1. A study by the AAA
Foundation for Traffic Safety found that drivers who completed a road rage
training program were less likely to engage in aggressive driving behaviors,
such as tailgating or honking excessively, compared to drivers who did not
receive the training.
2.
Another study published in the Journal of Applied Social
Psychology found that drivers who participated in a road rage prevention
program reported a decrease in aggressive driving behaviors and an increase in
positive driving behaviors, such as yielding to pedestrians and obeying traffic
signals.
3.
A survey by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
found that 91% of drivers who completed a road rage prevention program reported
that they were less likely to engage in aggressive driving behaviors after
completing the program.
4.
According to the American Safety Council, a leading provider of
driver education and training programs, drivers who completed their online road
rage course reported a 75% reduction in aggressive driving behaviors.
While the effectiveness of road rage training may vary depending on the specific program and the participants involved, these statistics suggest that road rage training can be an effective way to reduce the occurrence of road rage incidents and promote safe driving behaviors.
