There are instances where Traffic Law Enforcers themselves are the ones contributing to the negative
emotions of a motorist. Positive response on the part of the motorist is the only way to avoid argument.
• Be polite to them.
• Help them resolve the issue by not complaining but to comply. Be constructive and not
destructive.
• Your complaint or observation may be heard at a proper place and time. Be heard when it is your
time to be heard. But not while you are at the steering wheel.
• There are lots of venues where you can air your grievances, but not on the road. Other motorists
have dashboard cameras and smart phones to record incidents. Use these devices when
appropriate.
