7. Have patience
This seems like another obvious safe driving tip, but it's well worth repeating. Taking a deep breath and mustering up a bit of patience could mean the difference between an avoidable incident and a safe, smooth ride. Don't let your emotions influence your driving whenever possible. If you know a certain route home always gets you worked up thanks to traffic, stop signs, etc., then change that route. Drive somewhere you like, where the scenery is relaxing and patience-inducing.
