Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
You have just had an angry argument and want to drive away at once. What is the safest choice?
Correct answer: Take time to cool off, and stay off the road until you are calm.
Why
Strong emotions such as anger, fear or excitement can make you less careful and more likely to take risks. A short walk is one way to cool off, but what matters is that you are calm, not how much time has passed. If you are worried or down rather than angry, make a special effort to keep your mind on driving; some drivers find that the radio helps.
