What makes some vehicle drivers so aggressive?

Question

A while ago, I had a friend who was an aggressive driver. He was so aggressive that I was afraid to be a passenger in the vehicle with him at the wheel. I was probably a passenger with him driving four times. One time, he purposely hit another aggressive driver and both of the drivers got into a verbal fight. I never knew he carried a baseball bat in his car until he told me. Whenever traffic would not go his way, he would scream, hit the wheel and drive on the wrong side of the road. What makes someone drive so aggressively?

Answer 1

In my own words; "everyone loses at least 10 IQ points when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle. The real problem is not everyone has those 10 points to spare."
So basically it is stupidity.

As for the bat, he has some serious anger issues that need to be taken care of before he hurts or kills someone.

Tires fail for any sort of motives. some are controllable with the help of the motor vehicle proprietor, some are no longer. Tire inflation pressures, overloading and alternative whilst mandatory are all controllable with the help of the motor vehicle proprietor. highway debris can, to an quantity, be prevented with the help of the motor vehicle proprietor. some debris can not. employing interior the desolate tract southwest is likewise complicated on tires. as quickly as a puncture has been repaired, that turns right into a vulnerable spot interior the tire that ought to deliver approximately tread separation and failure if no longer repaired right. you particularly can no longer anticipate why a tire failed and not employing an intensive analyze.

Some people believe they have the right to get from Point A to Point B with little or no impeding factors, and the more the frustration builds, the worst they become. Obviously he does not being controlled by lights, laws, courtesy and restrictions such as congestion. I'd say he has problems with authority.

Answer 4

I think such an issue goes way beyond mere traffic annoyances. There is something else entirely going on that is causing him to explode.

Traffic frustrations are just the portals through which people express their deep seated anger at something else entirely that they perhaps cannot quite figure out or articulate.

Answer 5

It's like a "Power Trip". One can anonymously assume "control" of a situation in a vehicle. Your friend admitted (probably bragged) to you that he carries a bat..this is to intimidate others and bring situations under his control. You were right to stop riding with him. Consider yourself lucky *YOU* were never on the receiving end of his need to vent.
