Avoid the places that are trouble spots. Don't drink in shit
holes or eat in late night Indian restaurants that attract those
who have just left (or have been kicked out of) a nightclub.
Try and avoid frequenting areas that are rough, and if you
have to, make sure that you are totally switched on at all
times.
I have no problem with my ego, I won't be drawn into a road
rage incident because some lemon stole the piece of road in
front of me, or cut me up, or sped past me etc. My mum
always told me (it must be true because mums don't lie) that
there is no rush to the graveyard. Therefore, if the spanner in
front wants my space, I'm quite happy to let him
want to go there. I've been there before and believe me there
are no winners. Incidents like this can change the course of
your life if you let them. You kill someone, inadvertently in
a road rage incident then you might as well stick your head
between your legs and kiss your arse goodbye. And the little
son or daughter that you have at home waiting for you, the
beautiful wife that dotes on you, you can kiss them goodbye
for 10-15 years as well.
