DESCRIPTION

In this episode of our podcast, we uncover the real secret to dealing with aggressive drivers—and it’s not what you think. From tailgaters to lane weavers, road rage is on the rise, and we dive into the psychology behind it, the dangers it poses, and how you can protect yourself and stay calm behind the wheel.

We also explore why self-driving cars are still struggling to handle real-world traffic situations and what that means for the future of autonomous vehicles. Plus, we bust the myth of the “infamous” zipper merge and explain why it often leads to even more frustration on the road.

You’ll learn practical, science-backed strategies to handle road rage, keep your cool, and even avoid becoming part of the problem. We also discuss surprising factors—like high temperatures and car maintenance—that can increase road rage incidents, and why it might be time to rethink how we coexist with e-bikes on busy streets.

If you've ever felt stressed out while driving, this episode is packed with insights, tips, and real talk to help you become a safer, more mindful driver. Buckle up—this is one ride you don’t want to miss.

Good luck on your road test.
