First you encounter a stressful or challenging situation while driving, such as getting lost or making a wrong turn, stay calm and focused. Take a deep breath, assess the situation, and make safe decisions to correct the situation. : Practice patience and courtesy while driving, especially in heavy traffic or challenging situations. Use turn signals, yield to others when necessary, and avoid aggressive driving behaviors.
