As you grip the steering wheel during your life, it requires that you be focused and alert to what's coming ahead of you.  Driving is a common task that can cause anxiety because you either pay attention or pay the price.  Further down the road could be hazards so you always need extra time to react.

The average American spends 540 hours a year in their car.  As you grow older you will have spent a lot of time visiting places and observing faces.  Whether you like to listen to music or to your thoughts, there are valuable lessons learned on these roads of uncertainty.  Lessons that not only can relate to this life but also the people in it.

Were you pissed off recently by someone who drove like they had no control over their car? "I mean, GeeZ! Get a grip!" you screamed.

80% of US drivers have experienced some sort of aggressive road event, commonly known as road rage.  80%.  Thats alot of angry people who get ticked off by a complete stranger who just can't seem to get it together.  Maybe next time you'll think before you flip them off and yell "A@$H!!!"

When a reaction becomes a distraction we mix up our focus.  The brain can only process one thought at a time.  It is during this moment we could potentially lose sight of even more dangerous drivers down the road.

Driving can teach you alot about life and the people that try to get in your way.  Sometimes you create your own hazards with the negative emotions.  Do you think you have no control over them?

If you said no, than you're probably right

You do however have control over the thoughts that lead you up to getting angry.

Sure hazards will come and people will try to cut us off, worst, even out.  We still must not be deterred, concentrating and staying focused on the task at hand; remaining in control to get where we're going.
