Take action:
Allow for traffic problems on the way to appointments; have a solid breakfast or mid-afternoon snack before you face the rush-hour traffic – when blood sugar levels fall, it can lead to irritability; play soothing music; remember that getting to an appointment or to work is not a competition with other drivers; make sure you are alert, especially in slow-moving traffic; reduce the exhaust fumes you inhale by recirculating the air in your car; remind yourself that being agitated makes you a lot more accident-prone.
