Arizona Traffic School teaches drivers how to deal with frustration

People cited with minor traffic violations face a fine or may be eligible for defense driving school, which often costs less than the fine. Those who have not attended a defensive driving course or Arizona traffic survival school for a dismissal of a traffic charge within the past two years may attend. Each class will remove only one violation.
While Arizona traffic school courses once ran for eight hours, recent changes in Arizona law mean driving school class time was reduced to four and a half hours. Please note that certain violations, such as passing a bus with its blinking stop sign out is a criminal offense that is not eligible for driving school.
Something else to be aware of:  the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) defines aggressive driving behavior as drivers who drive at speeds more than 10 mph greater than posted limits, swerve in and out of lanes with no turn signals, and run red lights. To combat this problem, the GOHS purchased undercover vehicles to spot aggressive driving behavior.
Arizona traffic schools suggest that you avoid being an enraged driver, or “road raging”, by giving yourself plenty of time to get places. Know your own emotions and identify situations that upset you. Expect others to make mistakes, and realize that you are effectively wielding a weapon that weighs hundreds of pounds and moves at very fast speeds. Try to understand the bigger picture and be angry at actions, not people, and do not underestimate other driver's capacity for mayhem.
