I heard that because we are hyper alert while driving our reactions are also elevated to extremes as well. This would explain why drivers often come across as more irritable and ready to fly off the handle, I notice myself complaining way more than usual while driving. Now put someone who's already mentally unhinged and with a gun behind the wheel. Give people plenty of space and don't be in a rush is always my advice.

I feel like it's taken me a longer than it should have to get the "Zen" of driving. Once you learn to manage your expectations about how fast you're going drive, and how the driving experience is going to be, you're less upset about the usual driving annoyances. Some people really seem to get hung up on that stuff, or take crazy chances for the privilege of sitting at the next red light.
