Listen "Ep. 41: Rushing (and Why It Rarely Pays Off)"
Episode Synopsis
My dashcam captured the perfect example: an aggressive driver cuts me off, weaves through traffic, burns extra fuel, and ends up in the exact same spot. The math behind rushing tells a brutal truth - aggressive lane-changers save only 26 seconds on city drives while dramatically increasing crash risk. Discover why rushing triggers fight-or-flight mode, how steady movement beats constant acceleration, and the mindset shift that transforms driving from a race against time into time you already own. Learn the "cruise control mindset" that reduces stress, improves fuel efficiency, and often gets you there just as fast as the stressed-out speeders.Hashtags: #AggressiveDriving #RushingTraffic #DashcamFootage #TrafficPsychology #RoadRage #DrivingStress #TrafficFlow #DefensiveDriving #CommutingTips #DrivingMindsetSend us a textSupport the show🚦 New Episodes Every Thursday at 8 AM ET!
