Here are 4 easy ways to stay safe if you are driving in heavy traffic…

1 – Leave enough space. Highway congestion can be easily solved by simply allowing other vehicles to merge into other lanes. All you need to do is leave enough space and signal that it is fine to merge into your lane.

2 – Do not jump lanes. Some people believe that the best way to get out of a traffic jam is to change lanes, but this isn’t always the best solution. Choose the path with the least resistance – it could be your lane.

3 – Stay calm at all times. Traffic happens and there is nothing you can do about it, so there is no point in getting frustrated and angry. Do not give in to your urges to be hostile towards other drivers – you’re not the only one that is late.

4 – Stay focused. When the traffic is heavy, many of us get distracted and let our minds wander off… Do not get distracted by your cell phone or other things, focus on your driving and be safe!
