DUI: Every 15 Minutes - As this memorable program opens, we see a variety of high school students on a typical Friday afternoon. They are smiling and relaxed—each one busy with friends, sports and after-school projects. Then comes the sound of a car sliding out of control, a horn blaring...the crash of metal and glass. A vivid reenactment shows the brutal aftermath of an alcohol-related car crash. It is the final destination for four teenagers on a Friday night. It is also the highly realistic simulation of an actual event. Each haunting scene that follows shows a different consequence of the crash. From a parent hearing about the loss of her child, to the failed attempts to save an airlifted patient, we witness the inescapable anger and helplessness felt by the victims. Equally effective are glimpses of the driver’s ordeal—from humiliation and arrest at the scene of the crash, to the pain and fear of sobering up at the police station. The program ends with images of the victims, along with names and brief descriptions of the real young people involved in the crash. Together, their faces make for a powerful ending that will not be easily forgotten.

Road Rage and Aggressive Driving: A View From the Driver's Seat - Maury Hannigan, Commisioner Emeritus, CHP
"Road rage" is deliberate, violent behavior by a driver in response to a real or imagined traffic grievance. It occurs when something "snaps" in a driver who might usually be a careful, law-abiding motorist. "Aggressive" drivers are motorists who often ignore traffic laws, and drive erratically as their "normal" pattern of behavior. Aggressive drivers may trigger road rage in others, or may develop road rage themselves. This timely program supports driver education units regarding factors that contribute to impaired driving, particularly the effects that attitudes and emotions have on driving skills and decisions. The video also provides valuable examples for life skills units on anger management. Students learn safety measures to follow if they are the object of an enraged driver, and how to manage their emotions behind the wheel to avoid becoming enraged themselves. The message is reinforced by examples of the consequences of road rage episodes. Students learn that these tragedies can be prevented by adopting a cooperative driving attitude and giving other drivers the benefit of the doubt.

Ira en la calle y manejo agresivo: Visto del asiento del conductor - Conducido por Maury Hannigan, Comisionado Emérito, Patrulla de Caminos de California
La "ira en la calle" es un comportamiento violento y deliberado de un conductor en respuesta a un agravio real o imaginario en el tránsito. Los conductores pueden usar sus vehículos como armas, o incluso bajarse de sus automóviles para acosar o atacar a otro conductor. La ira en la calle ocurre cuando algo "truena" en un conductor quien en general manejaría y obedecería todas las leyes de tránsito. Los incidentes causados por la ira en la calle pueden, y dan como resultado ataques físicos, daños a la propiedad personal y pública o destrucción de la misma, e incluso asesinato. El conductor "agresivo" es similar al que sufre de ira en la calle. Un conductor agresivo puede pasarse los semáforos en rojo, manejar muy pegado al de adelante, zigzaguear en el tránsito e ignorar las leyes de tránsito como su norma acostumbrada de manejo. Un conductor agresivo puede provocar la ira en otro conductor o puede sentirla él mismo. Este programa oportuno observa la ira en la calle y el manejo agresivo desde la perspectiva del conductor. El público puede ver qué hacer si son el objeto de un conductor furioso y como evitar terminar furiosos ellos mismos. Las acciones no intencionales tales como manejar muy despacio, bloquear los carriles para adelantarse, cruzársele a otro conductor, o manejar demasiado pegado al de adelante, pueden todas llevar a la ira en la calle. Saber qué hacer en el momento de enfrentarse con un conductor furioso puede ser la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte. Un comportamiento violento cometido detrás del volante no sólo es una violación de tránsito, es un delito. Un comportamiento semejante puede llevar a consecuencias serias tales como el aumento del costo del seguro, la pérdida del trabajo, el arresto y la prisión. Las tragedias por la ira en la calle pueden prevenirse adoptando una actitud cooperadora en el manejo y dando a los otros conductores el beneficio de la duda.
