More cars on the road means more potential for road rage.<\/p>\n<p>And the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortworthtexas.gov\/departments\/police?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Fort Worth Police Department<\/a> is reminding drivers to keep calm and drive on.<\/p>\n<p>Following a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcdfw.com\/news\/local\/1-dead-possible-road-rage-shooting-along-i35-fort-worth\/4019222\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">deadly road rage shooting<\/a> at the Interstate 35 service and Meacham Boulevard on April 30, the Fort Worth PD North Division issued a public safety advisory to local residents in its newsletter, titled &#8220;Road Rage: What is It and Why does it occur?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The department defined road rage as aggressive or violent behavior directed at other motorists.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Road rage goes beyond normal frustration,&#8221; they say, &#8220;typically involves yelling, honking excessively, driving erratically and, at its worst, can involve physical confrontation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They remind that road rage is often triggered by stress, traffic congestion, and a loss of emotional control. The sense of anonymity inside a vehicle can also make drivers more likely to act out frustrations, the advisory says.<\/p>\n<p>Police say the best response is to avoid escalating the situation and create as much distance as possible between yourself and the aggressive driver.<\/p>\n<p>How to not become a victim of road rage, per Fort Worth PD:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ee-ul\">\n<li> Stay alert while driving. <\/li>\n<li> Do not respond to aggression with aggression. <\/li>\n<li> Stay calm and avoid making eye contact. <\/li>\n<li> Safely change lanes or slow down to let the other driver pass. <\/li>\n<li> Do not flash your bright lights or brake intentionally. <\/li>\n<li> Exit the area as soon as it is safe to do so. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The department also encourages drivers to use dash cameras to document incidents. Police recommend choosing a camera with at least 1080p resolution, front and rear views, GPS, and a timestamp.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers should call 911 if:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ee-ul\">\n<li> Someone is threatening them. <\/li>\n<li> A weapon is displayed. <\/li>\n<li> They are being followed. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After an incident, drivers can report road rage to the Fort Worth Police Department\u2019s non-emergency line at 817-392-4222 or the Traffic Hotline at 817-392-4850.<\/p>\n<p>Police say callers should be prepared to provide a description of the vehicle, license plate number, location, time of the incident, and any dash cam footage if available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite high gas prices, AAA predicts a record 39.1 million Americans will travel by car over 2026 Memorial&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":798721,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,20490,7371,7372,20337,22267,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,10544,2969,17927],"class_list":["post-817112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-america","tag-best-cities","tag-fort-worth","tag-fortworth","tag-hot-headlines","tag-most-popular","tag-texas","tag-tx","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-us-news-world-report","tag-usa","tag-where-to-drink"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116624661440017639","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=817112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/798721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=817112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=817112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=817112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
