Do you have the 9cell battery for the HP EliteBook 8560p ?

Yes of course by all means but make we see the light first na.

@conner44 What a touching story,so sad.

I experienced one which till date i remain highly grateful to God Almighty for sparing my life.

It happened along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway,i was going to visit my then fiancee now my wife ( thank God ). I often hear people say driving in the city is different from driving on long journey highways,it is true. A simple car maneuver control nearly cost me my life and two friends,i am going to try to put this in words for readers to easily understand. In Lagos,if i am driving at a speed of say 70-80 and i see a reason to apply my brake maybe due to a car that suddenly came out of a street ahead etc,i will just apply my brake sligihtly and swerve to the next lane ( of course i use my side mirror to make sure there is no car coming in the next lane behind me )..easy and sweet right ?. Well,little did i know that it was a total different ball game when you are speeding at say 130 and yes let me add here that the car i was driving at that time was a Volks Jetta 2000 ( the Bora type ). So i was driving at 130-140 ( heck all i know was that the car was flying ). Ok ok ok to tell you readers the truth i was chasing this i-vtec guy..See i noticed that even at high speed,the guy driving the i-vtec was cruising. It was like a scene out of the Talladega Nights movie,you remember the way Sacha sips his coffee while Ricky was sweating to even get close to him ? Yes that was just it gan gannn. The i-vtec was fast and steady but i was struggling to keep my German machine steady at such high speed ( i guess this is lack of experience sha cause German autos are meant to be more balanced than Japanese cars at high speed,na so i hear ). So suddenly this pick up just came out from no where - omo its true what the other poster said,when accident happens you might not remember exactly how it all happened in full detail. I just know the trailer came out of no where and i felt the brake,swerve to the next lane maneuver will handle it. Alas i was WRONG ! I hit my brake and the next thing i heard was my tire screeching. My car swerved to the far left uncontrollably,i tried hard to compensate by turning the steering to the right immediately to gain balance but na so the car begin do unplanned and unnecessary donut 360. Chei !!! My car was turning..no spinning was more like it and i remember my friend on the right side shouting my nameeeee with his right leg raised up in fear ( the shoe he was wearing tore and was unwearable afterwards ). In the moment,i remember this voice saying something like "is this how you are going to die ? is this a movie ? " So my car turned to face incoming traffic but luckily for me,i already drove pass all cars since we ( my car and the i-vtec ) were going at very high speed. It was a sloppy road,so my car began to reverse to the sidewalk and i parked. The drivers of the cars coming must have been wondering,how did this guy turn so fast lol. I remember coming down,visibly shaking with tears yes TEARS running down my cheek but i did not intend to cry ..well maybe i did but i know the tears ran down freely. See in Lagos,when someone drives rubbish in front of you ; one is quick to park in front of the person and run down to confront the person. The reverse was the case,i could not even go near the truck. It was a total total total "so pe tie" ( give thanks for your own ) moment,i was being grateful to God while i rested on my car boot. The passenger of the pick up came down and he was speaking Hausa...but following his hand signal and the name Allah,i knew what he was saying to me and my friends was let us thank God Almighty. The driver of the pick up was not allowed to come to us instantly because i think his passenger was afraid i and my friends will attack the driver ( little did he know i was humble ). Nothing major happened to my car,saw signs of leaked oil..cluth and rubber smell filled the air but apart from that,the car was good to go. I really thank God Almighty till date o and i yes let me add that i try not to do the brake and swerve trick any more. If there is a reason to brake,i do afterall that is what the brake is meant for. I apply brake,exercise patience and switch to the next lane when it is free and safe to.

Nairalanders come onnnnnn,someone must know a thing or two about ergonomic chairs

I don't know if this is the right section for this kind of question,pardon me moderator if it isn't.

I spend much time sitting and i am beginning to experience a mild lower back pain in the past couple of days. I did a research online and came across ergonomic chairs which are built to fit your exact body shape,spinal cord etc. I was wondering if anyone knows what company or where i can get ergonomic chairs here in Lagos.

Any idea anyone ? Thanks.

Kinda down here and i use MTN.

Just in case,i still need the battery for DELL XPS L702X.

Still finding this battery oo

Sorry for the late response folks,i tried sending the sms again around 6 pm and i got connected. Thanks.

When you sent YES followed by the first ten digit of your smart card number to 30333,was your decorder given access to the BBA channel ?

Just wondering because nothing seems to be happening when i sent the text,also calling their phone lines 08039003788 and 012703232 seems to be a waste of time as the phone lines ain't connecting until closing time.

Concerning the xps 17 batt,i called so i can come for the pick up but you did not pick up my call.

I mean for the xps 17 series

DO you have the 9 cell ?

See for yourself

Also since when did Dell inspiron and Dell xps become one ?

Hello,i need an extra battery for my dell xps 17 L702X.

Do you have ?

Hello,i need an extra battery for my dell xps 17 L702X. Do you have ?

Hello,i need an extra battery for my dell xps 17 L702X.

Preferably a 9 cell ( brand new ).

Contact me if you have.

I am also considering buying a Macbook Air and then using one of those softwares to run windows os

@ Seun .... New theme is cool but geeky.

MTN will tell you,if you don't like us..go,na you go still come back willingly ( with your own leg )... Why ? Well because there might be competition out there but not all services are the same. DSTV is in a class of its own and we all know it. @OP pls kindly permit to digress a little here ,here are some suggestions which i think DSTV ought to address :

*DSTV should bring in more movie stations especially 24/7 horror / thriller channel

*DSTV should provide some kind of swapping of old decoders with the new HD PVR decoders and add money to it instead of buying the new HD PVR decoder from the scratch. Wetin i wan use the old decoder dey do,use am play table tennis ? When there are lots of people who want that same old decoders from their offices and they keep turning them down telling them it's not available.

NOTE : DSTV color was getting dull but i can see the latest update fixed that,nice 1 DSTV. Abeg start BBA already jo !!!!

I have a suggestion,before you tell your gov to check on the DSTV guys...why don't you tell the gov to give the masses steady power supply ? The last time i checked, companies like DSTV,MTN,GLO etc don't run their equipments on water,in fact some of their output locations have 2 big generators running on DIESEL 24/7-multiply this by thousands of locations..yes they make their money but do you know how stressful that shit is ? It takes a radical to do business in Nigeria.. Gbam !!!

Now you are suggesting the DSTV guys should introduce pay as you watch / use ? Are you really serious ? Is this going to be like 1k per / second ? I think the DSTV guys already tried for the Nigerian Masses sef by introducing cheap plans as low as N2,800 for a month. Like someone said,you have options like Strong,HiTv,Startimes etc.

Recommend a standard,well equipped car painting and body work workshop here in Lagos.

I am not talking about the ones that paint your car on the street with dust everywhere o.

Thanks.

@ OP, I lost my BB touch and iPhone 3G ( both totally unrepairable ) to a similar experience back then. I guess maybe it was the price i needed to pay for my thick skull to learn never to lay hands on her ever again.

I know much more better now.  The powers of ignoring,smile or taking a walk never gets old. Fact is just as kids have the power to cry until you answer them,female folks also have the power to press your buttons until you go into this 5 mins madness rage and then returning to a sober regretting mode ( this one depends sha ).

Yes. I remember sometime ago,i was driving with my wife and we were looking for the exit leading to 3rd mainland bridge and there was traffic at out present location. We decided to ask a neatly dressed traffic warden woman for directions. She left her post,made sure the "danfo" buses packed properly ( all this while she was directing us ) until we got to the 3rd mainland bridge diversion which by the way was far from where we were initially. I had it in mind that i will compensate her but when i offered her some money,she refused, we were like madam,the money is just to show our appreciation but she said no its ok ,you are like my children and i am only doing my job. We said thank you very much madam and we drove off. Since then when anyone gives a negative comment about the police force,army etc - i say " not all of them are bad ".

hahahaahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha

LWKMD

Ruq:
I actually taught you were talkin about desert (dryland) lol

Seconded

I have a question and i am going to keep it simple and straight.

While driving and you notice you are been chased by a particular car with group of guys in it with their guns popping out of the windows. Chase has been going on for almost thirty minutes and you see a police check point ahead,pls what is the best thing to do ?

I mean in Nigeria.

I thought this might help and yes TAILGATE is same for "Bumper to Bumper".

Driving Tips From Driving Experts

Follow these hints and you can reduce this risk.

    After passing your test it will be strange to find an empty front passenger seat. The first time you drive take someone with you for support. Think seriously about displaying a `P' plate.
    When you do have to drive completely alone, begin on roads that you know but remember to keep a road atlas in the car in case you get lost.
    When you get your confidence, drive like you own the car, not the road!
    You've learnt to drive and passed your test by sticking to the rules. Stay this way and you'll stay alive ! So will your passengers and others on the road.
    Your quick reactions won't always stop you having an accident. Spotting and responding to problems ahead in plenty of time will.
    Drive in a way that suits your ability and the traffic conditions. It doesn't impress anybody if you drive fast in the wrong places and you could end up in a lot of trouble.
    Have plenty of sleep, especially before making a big journey and take plenty of rest breaks to restore your alertness. Listen to the radio for traffic reports and make sure you've enough fuel.
    Fiddling with the radio or a cassette when your driving can be distracting, so can playing your sound system so loud that you can't hear the sirens of an emergency vehicle.
    Give your mates a lift, but remember you're the driver so you're in control. Don't succumb to peer pressure. If they give you hassle, drop them off at a bus stop!
    Keep your eyes moving but don't scare your passengers by turning your head away from the road ahead when talking to any of them!
    Take motorway tuition and seriously think about advanced driver training. Research shows that it makes better drivers.
    Driving a four wheel drive motor doesn't suspend the laws of physics. You can still lose control if you ask too much of it.
    Don't leave valuables in your car where they can be seen because this invites a break in.
    Keep space from aggressive drivers. Don't get involved in trouble.
    Be seen. Whenever you need to turn your windscreen wipers on switch your lights as well.
    If you're driving on a slippery or loose surface use the foot controls very gently.
    Taking drugs and driving, like drinking alcohol before driving is a definite `No',
    Before driving abroad you need professional advice.
    Keep some tools in your car !
    If you're driving alone, particularly if you're a woman you should:
    a. Plan your journey properly and let somebody know your route.
    b. Carry a pen, paper, maps, first aid kit, torch, small change, warm clothing/blanket and a fire extinguisher.
    c. Carry a mobile phone (only for emergencies).
    d. Carry a personal attack alarm.
    e. Be sure that your car is in good order and join a recovery organization
    If your vehicle breaks down, don't panic. There are far more friendly people on the roads than those who would wish to harm you.
    * If you can, pull up where there are houses, street lighting and a telephone.
    * If you are somewhere remote you are at less risk if you stay inside your car. Use your mobile phone. If you have to walk take your personal attack alarm with you.
    * If a stranger does offers assistance, note their car number, keep your doors locked, speak to them through a closed window and send them to get help.

    Stay out of the way. Give aggressive drivers plenty of room to get around you.
    Drive defensively. Do not assume other drivers will follow traffic rules.
    Do not insist on your right-of-way if another driver is challenging you.
    Give a tailgater an opportunity to pass you by changing lanes.
    Be alert to those who are putting on makeup, talking on car phones, reading, eating or otherwise not paying attention to driving.
    Give cars room to merge ahead of you.
    Follow these tips to avoid rude or aggressive driving tendencies yourself.
    Don't make eye contact with an aggressive driver.
    Don't use obscene gestures.
    Use your horn sparingly.
    Don't block the passing lane.
    Don't switch lanes without signaling.
    Avoid blocking the right-hand turn lane.
    Do not tailgate.
    Don't get distracted by the car phone.
    Don't play the radio excessively loudly.
    Allow plenty of time for your trip.
    Driving is transportation, not competition. Want to compete? Find a racetrack.
    Be courteous, even when other drivers are not. Retaliating won't get you where you're going any sooner. Don't assume the other driver is out to antagonize you; he or she may just be in a hurry, too.
    It's not your job to teach others to drive. If, for example, you block a speeding car to slow it down, you might be inviting trouble. Leave law enforcement to the police.
    Make time good instead of making good time. If it takes 25 minutes to get to work, why leave yourself only 15? Leave earlier and don't play beat the clock. If driving makes you impatient, play music or listen to a book on tape to pass the time.

Warning signs for drowsy drivers

    Eyes closing or not focusing by themselves
    Difficulty in keeping your head up
    Yawning constantly
    Not remembering driving the last few minutes
    Drifting between lanes, tailgating, or missing traffic signs
    Jerking the car back into the lane after drifting

From: http://www.canoe.ca/

    Never assume that an apparently aggressive act was intended.
    Inhibit your own anger by taking deep breaths, keeping yourself calm or putting on relaxing music.
    If you're being hassled by another driver, try not to react. Avoid making eye contact.
    Keep your doors locked and your windows up.
    When stopped in traffic, leave enough space to pull out from behind the car you're following.
    Try not to disassociate yourself from the people in the cars around you. Pretend other drivers are people you know.

From: http://www.lakeforest.edu/

    First and foremost make every attempt to get out of the way.
    Put your pride in the back seat. Do not challenge them by speeding up or attempting to hold-your-own in your travel lane.
    Wear your seat belt. It will hold you in your seat and behind the wheel in case you need to make an abrupt driving maneuver and it will protect you in a crash.
    Avoid eye contact.
    Ignore gestures and refuse to return them.
    Report aggressive drivers to the appropriate authorities by providing a vehicle description, license number, location, and if possible, direction of travel.
    If you have a cellular phone, and can do it safely, call the police.
    If an aggressive driver is involved in a crash farther down the road, stop a safe distance from the crash scene, wait for the police to arrive, and report the driving behavior that you witnessed.

From: Aloha

From: Aloha

    Practicing patience in the car will ease your mind and take you far.
    Drive smart and put a smile in your heart.
    Ask yourself if it's right for you to tailgate. How do you feel when someone tailgates you?
    They made a mistake? Give them a break!
    Listen in on your thinking behind the wheel. Do you fuss and cuss and make a big deal? That's unhealthy for your body and mind. Drive with Aloha toward all humankind.
    Do you feel locked into traffic, unable to move? Worried you'll go crazy if you can't get out of it? Try some quick mood changers: start singing; make silly animal sounds, listen to music that calms you, tune in to talk radio, put a talking book in your tape player, enjoy a moment to yourself, mentally plan a vacation trip, look around and enjoy the scene, become one with the traffic flow, count your blessings.
    Just go with the flow no matter how slow
    Drive with Aloha Spirit. Let someone go ahead.
    Keep children safe in cars. Always fasten their seatbelts. Always use car seats securely in place in the back seat.
    Rushing, tailgating, and lane hopping? Relax and play follow the leader, Resist the urge to be an impatient speeder.
    Enjoy the journey. If another driver bothers you, get out of the way. Be smart, turn down challenges. Set a good example. Don't try to teach other drivers a lesson.
    Make it a safe trip. Keep a cool head, an alert eye, and a steady hand.
    You're in traffic -- driving like a maniac. You moan and groan -- are you anger prone? Give up your bad mood -- it's no fun to be rude. Take things in stride -- enjoy the ride. Arrive alive.
    Take it easy, why drive yourself crazy? Keep peace in the car and on the road.
    You can learn to love traffic. Enjoy the ride. It's part of your journey in life.
    Treat other drivers as you'd want them to treat your son or daughter.
    Frustrated? Upset? Angry? Quick -- make silly animal sounds. They'll help you calm down.
    Think bad, feel bad, be bad. Think nice, feel nice, be nice. It's your choice!
    Don't fight -- Drive right. Don't compete -- Just follow along. Don't do wrong -- Sing a song! Don't swear -- Learn to care!
    Thin and act like the driver of this car is dedicated to non-violence
    Avoid win-lose situations. Look out for win-win opportunities. Help other drivers along the way. Be a supportive driver. Spread your random acts of kindness around.
    Avoid the hassle of left lane driving. Because that's where road rage is thriving. Have you tried the right lane lately? It's slower, safer, smarter, nicer
    Don't let your bad mood do the driving. Think kind thoughts and drive with Aloha in your heart.
    Reason with yourself: Anger is unhealthy Don't express it, don't suppress it, confess it! Forgive and live!
    Don't think of it as being cut off. Think of it as helping someone in trouble.
    You don't feel like being nice? Just act as-if you are -- and you will be.
    Preserve the spirit of community. Give a courtesy wave to reward civility
    Does it seem like the other lane is always faster? Be safe and stay in your lane You'll get there just as quick.
    Hey, car lovers! Respect one another.
    Go ahead, make your day. Be a nice driver all the way
    Let someone go ahead of you. Brake for people on foot. Avoid blocking the passing lane. Resist following too close. Make a full stop when required. Go slow around the bend. Signal ahead of time. Do these things and you're a good driver.
    Driving defensively is smart. Driving altruistically is even smarter. Careless driving is bad. Defensive driving is better. Aloha Spirit driving is best.
    Drive under the influence of awareness. It will save a lives.
    How much are you driving over the speed limit right now? Is it safe to do that?
    Do you see someone driving at the speed limit? They're doing a good thing. They're saving lives.
    Did you know that most traffic accidents are caused by driver error? Please watch out and be alert.
    Do you feel frustrated in traffic? Are you impatient? Take a deep breath. There's time to slow down.
    Is your radio playing very loud? Have a heart and be considerate of your neighbors on the road.
    Last year more than 40,000 Americans died in traffic accidents. Almost 4 million people were seriously injured on the road. Don't take risks! Protect each other.
    People are walking up ahead. Approaching fast is threatening to them. Be gentle and your car will be too.
    Are you having negative thoughts about another driver? Do you feel justified that you're "in the right"? Then you're in a state of road rage! To back out of road rage start singing or making silly animal sounds. Then give yourself pep talks about human rights, noble feelings, smarter choices, acceptance of diversity, forgiveness, giving people greater latitude. Think like an Aloha Spirit driver, and you'll act like one!
    Anger released is anger increased. Anger transformed is anger dissolved. Anger and indignation weaken your immune system and your heart. Tolerance and humor diffuse anger, reduce stress, and keep you alert. You can make smarter choices and enjoy hassle-free, safer, more pleasant rides. And feel part of the community of drivers.

From: http://phoenix.webfirst.com

    Don't drive drowsy -- research shows that people are unable to predict when they will fall asleep.
    Avoid making eye contact with aggressive drivers -- don't escalate a dangerous situation!
    Give bicyclists wide berth -- they sometimes need to maneuver around potholes, opening car doors, and other obstacles.
    Stop at red lights -- sounds simple, but red light violators cause thousands of crashes every year!
    Avoid distractions while driving -- pull over if you need to use your cell phone.
    Pass on the left, drive on the right.
    Don't overdrive your headlights at night, especially in areas where animal crossing signs are posted.
    Avoid stopping on major highways whenever possible.
    Wear your seatbelt at all times.
    Don't drive drunk! Appoint a designated driver

From: aloha

    Don't honk at someone.
    Don't make an offensive hand gesture.
    Don't yell at someone or swear.
    Don't rev your engine to indicate displeasure.
    Don't shine your high beams in retaliation.
    Don't deliberately cut someone off.
    Don't tailgate.
    Don't brake suddenly to punish a tailgater.
    Don't block a lane.
    Don't rave.
    Don't chase.

From: newwoman

    Divert your attention. Instead of automatically reacting when you feel angry, diffuse your emotions by counting slowly, singing, or making funny animal noises -- meow, roar, or moo -- for about 10 seconds (best done when you're alone in the car and the windows are up).
    Strive for a comfy drive. A pleasant environment wards off stress. Put in a book-on-tape of something you've been meaning to read or treat yourself to a pair of sleek leather driving gloves.
    Go with the slow flow. Because driving behavior can be contagious, cruising on the highway in the left lane may make you feel pressured to match an escalating pace. Switch to the right lane and set your own speed.
    Consider the cause. Don't assume that other drivers' mistakes are intentional or personal. Reduce your hostility by attributing their offense to something excusable and situational -- say, a malfunctioning car or illness.

Driving Etiquette
Here are some simple Rules of the Road to remember the next time you go out:

    When driving, pay attention to the task at hand
    Do not stay in the left lane if you are going slower than the traffic to your right
    If you are not passing another car, remain in the right lane(s)
    If a car is approaching from the rear, flashing its lights, move over as soon as you are able
    Do not tailgate, leave a "2 second" space between you and the car ahead of you
    Do not slam on your brakes if a car is tailgating you
    Do not ride your brakes
    Do not change lanes if there is a car in the lane you want to move into going faster than you
    Be courteous to others, if you can't make a move without obstructing others on the road don't do it
    Check around your car when changing lanes in order to do so safely
    When entering an interstate, speed up to match the speed of the oncoming traffic before trying to merge
    When leaving an interstate, slow down only when you are totally in the deceleration lane
    When moving into a turn lane, wait until you are in the lane to brake
    When driving behind someone make sure your high beams are off
    Green means GO
    Red means STOP
    Blue means MOVE TO THE RIGHT (and if it follows you, it means you're screwed)
    Use your blinker to signal a lane change, or a turn
    Do not forget to turn off your blinker
    When encountering a funeral procession, pull over to show respect for the deceased (unless you know the SOB, that is)
    And finally for all you tourists out there in happy-go-lucky land, plan your trip before you leave home so you know where you are going

From: http://www.drivers.com/article/167/

    Don't take traffic problems personally
    Avoid eye contact with an aggressive driver
    Don't make obscene gestures ("that makes you a player and suddenly it begins to escalate"
    Don't tailgate
    Use your horn sparingly (the polite honk can be misinterpreted)
    Don't block the passing lane (some drivers think you're doing something to them when you do this)
    Don't block the right hand turn lane
    Allow adequate time for your trip.
    Create a relaxing and comfortable environment in your car. Play relaxing music (with a beat slower than your heartbeat, one music afficionado suggested).
    Behave cooperatively, you'll get repaid in kind. If you're aggressive, you trigger in others a natural instinct to fight back and drivers will often try to twart your progress (not let you into a line of traffic, for example)
    Be diplomatic, you will be able to move through traffic with amazing ease. Sometimes drivers will go out of their way to help you.
    Driving in congested traffic is really a challenge to your diplomatic skills, and your ability to communicate effectively with others
    if you do happen to catch sight of aggressive driving, stay away and contact the authorities when you get the chance. Even if you're not being chased down the highway by a sideswiping maniac, you could be saving a life other than your own.

From: http://www.dot.state.ia.us/roadrage.htm

    Use directional lights to indicate a lane shift.
    Follow the laws of the road.
    Be polite and courteous.

    Don't become distracted by using the car phone or reading the paper while the vehicle is in motion.
    Put some physical distance between you and drivers who are behaving erratically.
    Don't show a reaction to the aggressive driver; especially, avoid eye contact.
    Avoid behaviors that antagonize or irritate others.
    Learn to control your temper and keep your cool in traffic.
    Use your horn sparingly.
    Keep the music in your vehicle at a level that doesn't annoy others.
    If you are feeling frustrated - create a distraction such as turning on the radio, start a conversation with a passenger, play 20 questions, or talk yourself through the situation to calm down.
    Be tolerant of those who exhibit non-conforming traffic behaviors.

From: http://www.ohsp.msp.state.mi.us

    Think more about making time spent driving good, instead of making good time.
    Driving is not a competition.
    Be polite and courteous, even if the other driver isn't.
    It's not your job to teach others how to drive.

    Allow plenty of time for the trip
    Listen to soothing music
    Improve the comfort in your vehicle
    Understand that you can't control the traffic, only your reaction to it

    Make your ride enjoyable. Listen to music you like, breathe deeply and get fresh air.
    Follow the rules of the road.
    Be courteous. If you make a mistake, make a gesture of apology to the other driver.

    Plan your trip. By allowing sufficient time to get there, small delays won't seem like major incidents.
    Don't drive if you're already upset by something happening at work or at home.
    Don't react to small traffic incidents.
    Allow for other peoples mistakes. It might be you who needs to change lanes next time.
    Consider using alternative transport if you'll be driving in frustrating conditions such as peak hour traffic.
    Keep your doors and windows locked and don't open them if anyone approaches the car.
    Remain calm, responding in any way will only encourage the other person.
    If you have a mobile phone call the Police.
    Don't use a weapon, it is against the law and can make the situation worse.
    Try to drive away safely and make a note of the attacker's registration number.
    If you can't drive away, try to attract attention by flashing your lights or sounding your horn.

    When you merge, make sure you have plenty of room. Always use your turn signal to show your intentions before making a move. If someone cuts you off, slow down and give them room to merge into your lane.
    If you are in the left lane and someone wants to pass, move over and let them by. You may be "in the right" because you are traveling at the speed limit - but you may also be putting yourself in danger by making drivers behind you angry.
    Allow at least a two-second space between your car and the car ahead. Drivers may get angry when they are followed too closely. If you feel you are being followed too closely, signal and pull over when safe to do so, allowing the other driver to pass.
    Use your horn rarely, if ever.
    Keep your hands on the wheel and avoid making any gestures that might anger another driver. That includes "harmless" expressions of irritation like shaking your head.
    If another driver is acting angry, don’t make eye contact.
    Give angry drivers lots of room. If another driver tries to pick a fight, put as much distance between you as possible. And, remember "it takes two to tango". One angry driver can’t start a fight unless another driver is willing to join in.
    Get help if you believe an angry driver is following you or is trying to start a fight. If you have a cellular phone, use it to call the police. Otherwise, drive to a place where there are people around, such as a police station, convenience store, shopping centre, or even a hospital. Do not get out of your car. Do not go home.

    First, make every attempt to get out of his or her way.
    Put your pride away. Don’t challenge an aggressive driver by speeding up or attempting to hold-your-own in your travel lane.
    Avoid eye contact with the aggressive driver, it may be perceived as a challenge.
    Ignore gestures and refuse to return or acknowledge them. Stay cool.
    Don’t block the high speed or passing lane. If you’re being tailgated, move over.
    Wear your seat belt. It will hold you in your seat and behind the wheel in case you need to make an abrupt driving maneuver and it will protect you in a crash.
    Above all, never underestimate the other driver’s capacity for violence in any form.
    Don’t take traffic problems personally.
    Make your drive less stressful. Give yourself extra time to reach your destination.
    Evaluate your emotions before getting behind the wheel.
    Take a break if you feel yourself getting tense.
    Is what you’re listening to grating your nerves? If so, change it. Try listening to something more relaxing.
    Drive defensively. Don’t become an offender of rude road manners.
    Most important, choose not to get angry. You are the only one who controls your emotions.

    Try signaling before switching lanes
    Not tailgating the car in front of you
    Not stopping in the road to talk to pedestrians or other drivers
    If you are driving slowly, pull over and allow any aggressive drivers to pass.
    When at a signal, avoid blocking the right-turn lane or having your radio too loud.
    And, as a car phone is a major distraction while driving, use it as infrequently as possible.
    When parking your vehicle, do not use a parking space for the disabled, unless you are disabled.
    As a rule, try not to take more than one parking space and avoid hitting the car next to yours with your door.
    What to do when confronted by an aggressive driver:
    Make every attempt to get out of the way.
    Do not rise to a challenge by speeding up or attempting to "hold
    your own" in your travel lane.
    You should always wear your seat belt. It will keep you in your seat, and behind the wheel, in case you need to make an abrupt driving also, of course, protect you if a collision maneuver. It will occurs.
    Avoid eye contact. Ignore gestures and refuse to return them.
    Report aggressive drivers to the appropriate authorities by providing a vehicle description, license number, location, and direction of travel.
    If you have a cellular phone, and can use it safely, call the police.
    Many police stations have special numbers such as "77."
    If an aggressive driver is involved in a crash farther down the road: stop a safe distance from the crash scene, wait for the police to arrive, and report the driving behavior that you witnessed.
    The right attitude for driving
    Reduce the stress of your trip by allowing plenty of travel time, listening to relaxing music, and realizing that if there is a traffic jam there is nothing you can do about it
    If you come across any aggressive drivers, be polite and courteous, even when they are not.
    Never take their driving mistakes as a personal affront
    or as a chance to reprimand them.
    If another driver challenges you, take a deep breath and get out of the way.
