Some thoughts on today’s traffic and how bad behavior on our city streets and freeways has gone viral: So, what can be done to reverse this phenomenon? We could start by committing random acts of courtesy. Yes. My suggestion is to simply try committing random acts of courtesy by yourself or with friends. I guarantee you will love it. It is impossible not to feel good after committing a random act of courtesy. Even more importantly – it has a ripple effect. What could be more important than saving lives?
It would be interesting to hear any ideas on how to raise public awareness on this issue. Maybe a letter writing campaign to Caltrans and state lawmakers? Why not make use of the freeway digital signs that read “Click it or ticket”? The RAC (random act of courtesy) attack.
Imagine a future study showing accident rates decreasing. Experts are unable to determine cause.
