The Peugeot 208 is an excellent car that’s packed with the latest features and technology. However, even the best cars cannot help a driver to keep their temper in check when they are under duress. There are many articles about dealing with road rage out on the open road, but car parks are also a potential flashpoint. In this article, we will look at four tips that will help you to beat car park rage.
1. Choose the Right Music
The Peugeot 208 price includes a comprehensive media player that you can access via the infotainment screen. Many drivers, like to hit the open road with some thumping rock or pop track, but this isn’t such a great idea in a car park. The driving beat of this type of music will elevate your adrenaline levels and make it hard to relax. The last thing you need when you’re slowly looking for car parking space is a sense of urgency. When you’re driving or maneuvering at slower speeds consider something lighter, such as jazz, classical or ambient music instead.
2. Keep Your Sense of Perspective
Every driver needs to keep their parking efforts in perspective to stay calm. After all, this is probably a mundane journey to the shops or work, and it isn’t life threatening in any way. Losing your temper behind the wheel is bad enough, but if there are kids in the car, it’s even worse. Children mimic and then model their own behaviour on the crucial adults in their lives. Set a good example, ignore any external car parking shenanigans and go about your parking in a calm and systematic manner.
3. The Early Bird
Any driver can easily reduce the amount of stress in their lives by simply being ahead of everyone else. Start by going to bed early and set your alarm to get you up earlier than you normally would. This should allow you to set off on your journey with plenty of time to spare. The traffic will be lighter than you may be used to and there will be less competition for spaces. Eventually, being an early riser will become a habit, and you will notice that you can fit far more into your day.
4. Create a Relaxing Cabin
The cabin of your Peugeot 208 is well designed and packed with plenty of tech to make your journey more comfortable. However, you can reduce your stress levels by making your cabin a more relaxing place to be. Start by cleaning and decluttering the car thoroughly and to get rid of anything that you don’t need. Then choose a relaxing aroma for your car; there are loads of different car air fresheners available to create ambience. If you want to relax, choose aromas, such as bergamot, vanilla or lavender, to make your cabin into a stress free zone.
