I am usually very gentle, so why do I get angry easily when I drive?

I wonder if you have such a friend around you.

He usually looks quite gentle.

But once I got in the car, my temper became violent.

Swearing when disagreeing with someone

Why is this?

Does the steering wheel really have such magical power?

He instantly became two different people

Now let's unveil its mystery together.

It turns out that the reason why people tend to lose their temper while driving is not because of the steering wheel, but a common problem in the automobile age - "road rage". There are roughly the following reasons why people lose their temper while driving:

Road environment: Imagine you are in a hurry to go to work, but you are stuck in traffic. How can you feel good? This can easily lead to road rage.

The space inside the car is claustrophobic: The space inside the car is not large. If you stay in this environment for a long time, it is easy to cause psychological depression and induce anxiety.

Can't stand other people's behavior: You are driving well on the road, but a pedestrian or an electric bike appears out of nowhere or someone overtakes you unconditionally and cuts in. Wouldn't that make you angry?

If you also get angry when driving, you might as well try to plan your route before driving. On the premise of ensuring safety, you can also play some relaxing songs in the car, chew gum, take more deep breaths, and open the windows to get some fresh air to relieve "road rage". After all, being in a bad mood while driving may also affect your safety.
