If a driver is becoming aggravated and engaging in unsafe behaviors, which of the following is NOT a recommended step to regain control?

When dealing with feelings of aggravation while driving, the goal is to regain a calm and composed state to ensure safe driving. Ignoring those feelings or the situation does not address the underlying issues causing the aggression and may lead to continued unsafe driving behaviors. By not acknowledging what is causing the aggravation, a driver risks allowing those feelings to escalate, increasing the likelihood of erratic or dangerous actions on the road.

On the other hand, reflecting on the situation allows a driver to understand their emotions better, identifying the triggers of their frustration. Reframing involves changing the interpretation of the situation, which can help in reducing stress and agitation. Refocusing assists in diverting attention back to safe driving practices, encouraging a concentration on the task at hand rather than personal feelings. Therefore, the step of ignoring is not conducive to regaining control and does not promote safer driving habits.
