Keeping cool in hot-mess traffic

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — With the start of school compounded by so much construction, there's a lot happening on the roads in Corpus Christi.

KRIS 6 reporter Shelby Coppedge gives us a look at how to handle the stress that comes along with the traffic.

When you're on your way to work, dropping off your kid at school, or running errands, it can be difficult to not get frustrated when sitting in traffic -- especially when you're late.

I met with Corpus Christi Assistant Police Chief Mark Schauer to find out the best ways to handle these situations, keeping you and those around you safe. This also includes utilizing a new tool the CCPD has created that lets you immediately report anyone driving recklessly around you.

I'll tell you how it works, tonight here on KRIS 6 News.
