Road rage prevention training is for refuse and recycling truck drivers, helpers and route supervisors in waste management. Collection trucks stop often, block lanes and move slowly through traffic, which frustrates other motorists. Waste collection drivers need skills to manage their own tempers and to avoid escalating confrontations with angry drivers.
Road rage is caused by drivers who let frustration, hostility and a sense of competition take over behind the wheel. Common road rage triggers include being cut off, tailgating, slow left-lane drivers and long waits at lights. Rude gestures and stress or fatigue carried into the drive also play a part.
A waste truck driver facing an aggressive motorist should not engage. Avoid eye contact, ignore gestures, stay in the cab with doors locked, and give the other driver room to pass. If the motorist follows or threatens the crew, call the dispatcher or 911 instead of confronting the person.
Drivers can avoid provoking road rage by signaling early, leaving space before merging in front of others, and never tailgating. Keeping right except to pass also helps. Simple courtesy, such as a friendly wave or letting traffic pass when safe, also helps. The 16-minute road rage video is available in English.
