Over the years, today’s technological advancements enhanced to live more easily, go to places they ever want and indeed can save their time whenever office hours are about to start. What we mean for this modern technology are cars. Nowadays, people intended to buy these cars for a reason, and they are more comfortable using it. In this age of high technology and proactive engineering, statistics seem to suggest that people are caused of these accidents. Cars may become more comfortable and safer for the driver and its passengers, but ultimately, it is the driver who is controlling the vehicle. The life of the passenger depends on how the driver on how to manage and the way he or she drives. By having the attention to the driving process and respond to unforeseen activities on the road will always result for a safe journey. Today, car accident is one of the most leading causes of death among people. And this is the cause by faulty behaviors by the drivers such as driving under the influence of alcohol, taking drugs and over speeding. Aggressiveness, rage and anger reactions are the common places on the road because they are learned through habits, acquired by children in the backseat, where kids are not merely passive passengers, because kids observe and react internally to the drivers yelling, violent gestures, trash talks and other common forms of derision and retaliation. Children are also proprioceptive conditioned to levels of speed in a highway environment that emphasizes rushing and getting ahead of others. This role model distorts attitudes about what is dangerous and raises kids to be normally aggressive drivers that increased the risk for everyone. Aggressive driving can also contribute to disrespect to people and traffic regulations. Because it lowers the threshold for endangering others, making it acceptable to run during red light or drinking alcohol while driving and its effect can distract a driver’s sense of social responsibility. Today, aggressive driving is increasing because it is a learned that is transmitted from one generation to the next. And expected to continue to rise. Well, children sometimes learned this behavior upon seeing through movies were reckless driving is more shown. That is why, we need to guide our children to whatever kind of movies they watch, because kids are more visual learners, and they tend to follow every action they learned. A variety of impairments that are associated on mental states will distort perception, reduces self-control and imposes higher risk on driving; Driving when angry loosens inhibition, encourages retaliation and destroys your concentration. And driving under the influence of rushing mania reduces self-control and endangers you through opportunistic maneuvers that will somehow cause accidents. Driving is emotionally challenging because unexpected things happen constantly. In addition, rules of engagement on the road are harsh and competitive. Most drivers find these conditions emotionally challenging, and they had difficulty coping with these emotions. More routinely drive in an emotionally impair state. Drivers are filled with motives and intentions that they are not fully aware of these motives and intentions that would alter self-control. Frequently, drivers use these emotions to engage in impulsive and risky behavior, giving little thoughts that they endanger themselves by taking more risk. That is why; driving aggressively is under the influence of impaired emotions resulting in behavior that imposes one’s own preferred level of risk on others. This is something that is aggressive because it assumes that others are capable of handling the same risk and increases danger for others. In order to minimize road accidents, we must see that drivers are emotionally free from distractions. They should develop supportive driving styles that reduced the risk and should be responsible for each other. The enormous driving challenge that is facing our society today can become an opportunity for strengthening our community and evolving more compassionate relations. With these supportive driving styles can help us prevent accidents and make peace on highways.
