Tell one of the spectacular women that you know that she should run for office. Women win elections at the same rate as men—but they don’t run as often.

PlateWire believes that rage and courtesy go hand in hand. If you as a driver are treated rudely by someone, you are more likely to take that frustration out on someone else, especially if you are already experiencing stress, an almost daily fact for many of us. So their basic principle is simple, if they can help people to be more aware of their unsafe habits, become self-accountable for their actions, and then they have made a difference. Log onto their web site where you can report or commend a driver you have encountered.
