Most people hit the road everyday going from one place to another that’s why safe travels can never be emphasized enough.

On “Wheels TV” this Saturday, Ulysses Ang takes the bull by the horn in his segment on the monster lurking in every motorist: road rage. Find out how to keep temper down when trapped in traffic or when a co-driver “cuts” you or when the next car seems to be challenging you to race. If you’re already seething just thinking about these scenarios, then this segment is for you.

The Master of Wheels also slow things down a notch. Angel Rivero and Kap Maceda-Aguila try out the different safety features of the Volvo V40 Cross Country. Do you know that the car brakes by itself for pedestrians?

Nobody wants to get into a road accident but it does happen so best be prepared for it. Find out what to do and what your rights are if you get into a scrape. Atty. Karen Jimeno gives the legal perspective. Also, get it straight from a renowned trauma surgeon, Dr. Orlando “Bok” Ocampo from the Acute Care and Trauma Surgery of St. Luke’s Medical Center on what happens to the human body in an accident.

“Wheels TV” airs on ABS-CBN Sports + Action Channel every Saturday at 10 a.m.
