If you were an evil genius and wanted to develop a situation that made people angry, it would look a lot like driving.
Here are four reasons why:
Tension. Quite simply, driving is dangerous. Because it is dangerous, it makes us nervous. This is true whether we have been doing it for days, years, or decades. Even if we are so used to it that we don’t notice it anymore, we still feel some tension when we drive. Read the rest at Psychology Today.
With some people, driving turns them into a completely different person. I think it brings out the aggressive side of even the calmest person.
Unfortunately I can’t really see a way around it, without some form of driver retraining, which to be honest, will never happen…
