Why are people so aggressive on the road?

Question

Why do they drive so fast and get so enraged on the road? I never do.

Answer 1

A lot of people have long commutes and after a hard day at work it is easy to get fustrated.  

Sitting in traffic gets to one nerves.

Having a trouble relationship and bad day at work.

Being young and stupid, more likely to take safety for granted.

Answer 2

Brian D is right. For many people, if your driving too slow, your an a-hole. If your driving too fast, your an maniac. That's a quote from a famous comedian.

Answer 3

Even the timid person feels powerful when surrounded by a powerful car that they control. It changes some peoples personality.

Answer 4

some people have road rage, (especially those teenagers.) They just get a rush from driving fast and feel "cool."

Answer 5

it isn't all teenagers!

i am a teen.

i have been driving for almost a year.

i can honestly say that i have never passed a car,

freaked out because someone was going to slow,

and I don't have road rage anymore than any other driver on the road!

anyway, ppl freak out on the road because they are too stressed and want someone to take it out on!

Answer 6

IMPATIENCE!!!
