Use hand gestures as a courtesy. Never use obscene hand gestures when driving.

Avoid eye contact unless you are making a courteous gesture. Eye contact can be a trigger for road rage when you are communicating a negative message.

Defensive driving courses *should* be online!

Fact: Sitting in your living room surfing the net dramatically lowers the risk of getting into a car accident.

I disagree, I wink at other drivers quite frequently which is neither courteous nor negative, and on occasion they wink back. No road rage yet!

OB, that doesn't count. You're standing on the street corner when you wink at drivers.
