How to Avoid Traffic Jams and Driving Stress – Top 6 Picks

Admin — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:24:09 +0000

Reckless driving is the cause of many accidents on the road. However many fail to recognize the stress created during driving as one of the leading factors of car accidents. Many people who drive recklessly have stress build-up from their repetitive daily commute. It is crucial to keep the driving stress under control and avoid traffic jams.

Here are the top 6 ways to avoid stress during driving and traffic jams:

1- Keep the wheels rolling:

From personal experience highways and freeways, higher speed limits roads and/or open spaces to your left and right as you drive is a lot more calming than a 20 mph route with skyscrapers and high-rise buildings surrounding you.

If there are three routes that could take you to work, try them all for a week and pick the one that has more scenery, open space overall and that which allows you to keep pushing down the gas pedal (not exceeding the speed limit of course).

Believe it or not over time it has a huge affect on having a stress free driving and tolerating occasional higher traffic.

2- Leave before rush hour:

This is easier said than done! Most of us have defined schedule but if you can avoid the rush hour, you are doing yourself a huge favor in terms off avoiding traffic clogs and reducing your driving stress.

3- Listen to a low-key music radio station with traffic updates:

Don’t clutter your mind with more junk that you already get from everyday life, you don’t need to know what Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie wore today or worse yet what they argued about yesterday. Who cares! Believe me it won’t have add any peace to your already busy mind. Switch that hardcore news/gossip talk to a relaxing and low-key music station with traffic updates.

Satellite radio may help you find your favorite station.

4- Make sure you have a comfortable driver seat

If you drive a long distance to work, it could cause strain on your back. It is important to make sure that you have a comfortable support for your back. Go to Wall-mart or similar stores to find something that gives you enough cushion support or a pillow in between the car seat and your back. Be sure that this will reduce driving fatigue, static shocks and therefore reduces stress while driving.

5- Use a GPS with life traffic update function as you commute:

This will help you not only with constant traffic update, but you’ll have a peace of subconscious mind that you have a “guide” should you loose your way.

Choose from a list of GPS units here

6- Hey! listen to relaxing music:

Not just any crazy-hardcore-metal-punk but chose a soft and relaxing music that soothes your mind and soul.

Liquid Mind production has a lot of good reviews:
