ROAD RAGE IS A FAILURE RISK. Welcome to Theory Unlocked, the podcast that connects the rules on the page to the reality on the road.

In Episode 3, we delve into one of the most common hazards we face daily: aggression and frustration behind the wheel.

While road rage might seem like a personality problem, the ability to manage your stress—and react safely to others' anger—is a crucial part of the theory test's Hazard Perception section. We unlock the skills you need to stay safe and score high:

• The "Slow-to-Boil" Signs: Learn to recognize the three key driving behaviours that indicate an aggressor is nearby, and the simple strategy to avoid them without escalating the situation.
• Preventing Your Own Rage: We look at how your minor mistakes can trigger other drivers, and discuss two practical habits that will reduce your own stress and keep you focused on the test.
• Hazard Perception Hack: We analyze real-world scenarios that mirror the test, showing you exactly when and where to click when an aggressive driver creates a developing hazard.

Don't let frustration cost you your license. Press play to unlock the defensive strategies that keep you calm, safe, and scoring points.

Ready to get in control? This episode takes you through the essential Pre-Drive Checklist, the non-negotiable routine you must complete every time you get behind the wheel.

We break down the three critical adjustments that ensure comfort, control, and safety:

• The Power Position: Discover the "feet first" rule to guarantee you can brake effectively in an emergency, and how to hold the wheel for maximum steering control.
• The Whiplash Guard: Learn the precise rule for adjusting your head restraint—it's not for comfort, it's a safety device that prevents serious injury in a collision.
• Conquering the Blind Spot: Toby explains how to properly adjust your side mirrors (seeing only a "tiny sliver" of your own car) and why the physical shoulder check is the only way to eliminate the danger zone.

Master this routine now to ensure an easy pass on your vehicle safety questions and build rock-solid driving confidence.
