I try to listen to good music to ease the stress, especially during traffic. When is is a long drive, my husband and I listen to audio books. How about you?

Quote from an online author, Martin Mayor.
"As part of my personal journey to a reduced stress lifestyle I have been looking at ways to reduce the effects of stress whilst driving. I have the following goals:
# reduce the stress of rushing by setting off earlier in my car.
# read traffic reports before I make a journey and avoid or prepare for delays.
# learn to accept other people's failures as an inevitability. (at least don't get so mad about them)
# use simple relaxation techniques to calm myself should I feel angry or frustrated. For example, repeat a relaxing word to myself or think of a happy, peaceful memory.
# be realistic with my planned journey time. Don't tell someone 45 minutes when I am at least an hour away. Reduce the pressure."
