In order to be polite to a fellow driver, we first have to be mindful of them… to acknowledge them… isn’t that true? The dictionary uses the locution “consideration toward others” to define courtesy. Let’s chew over this for a mo, shall we? The more you march on toward being a skilled driver, the easier it is to notice that the common concept of defensive driving is your knowing of what’s occurring beyond your vehicle body boundaries. Most all the issues, minus one, that can make you into an aggressive driver go around actions inside the passenger compartment. Phone calls, talking to passengers, checking text messages, music… all this stuff is what distracts you from concentrating on road situation. The other factor here is your attitude. Think about it, if you are irritated with something, a driver's seat is not the best place to be and you should be self-aware enough to adapt your manner of driving until you chill out, or not drive at all. Your criterion should always be courtesy. If you are polite then a bunch of good things are occurring in that processor in your cranium. When you are polite, you are paying attention to what’s transpiring outside your vehicle. You are also mindful to fellow drivers' wants, which is as decent as it gets. There are heaps of opportunities on the ordinary drive around town to be respectful to other drivers. They may not each time notice your respect, but they generally do. In my long experience those minor good turns you distribute to complete strangers generally get returned back to you by other complete strangers as if by magic… kind of cool in fact. You unexpectedly observe drivers allowing you into tight places when earlier they acted up like jerks… magic I warn you. If you will simply try to be as courteous as possible to fellow drivers for one week, I foretell you will be surprised. It in fact shifts your whole view on driving while at the same time clearly setting you as a genuine class act. Who among us doesn’t desire to be a class act? What winds up occurring, is that you soon find yourself seeking occasions to cut the fellow driver some slack, which makes you feeling great about your actions. It also directs you… pay attention here… directs you outside of the bubble in your car. You are concentrating on what’s occurring out there much more, when you try to be polite to fellow drivers. This minor exercise in human relations 101 can propel you from an average driver to an excellent one in no time. So… you if you seek to be a good driver, it is that easy… just cut the fellow driver some slack. Even if they don’t understand it, you will be a best human being and a better driver for doing it.
