Driving Anger and Evolving Strategies to Help Reduce It
7:10:56 2024-08-09 2091

Sergio was fixated on the conflict he had with his supervisor about not receiving a raise. Now, in congested traffic, his mind raced with how he wished he had responded. He became more easily annoyed with others’ driving. He repeatedly honked his horn and made some careless maneuvers. So, exactly what factors contributed to his more aggressive behaviors?

Road anger has been identified as an important factor associated with risky driving behaviors as well as accidents, some of which are fatal. Aggressive behaviors include those directed to hurt another person, a driver, or a pedestrian—either physically or emotionally. The more aggressive behaviors include unsafe lane changes, speeding, car-ramming, or physical attacks. Less aggressive driving behaviors include flashing lights, running stops or red lights, honking, verbal threats, non-verbal gestures, tailgating, or blocking other drivers.

A meta-analysis reviewed 51 studies over the prior two decades and found that driving anger was associated with risky driving, driving errors, and near misses and accidents. Additionally, it found that driving anger was a stronger predictor of risky drivers among young drivers than among old drivers.

With regard to driver-pedestrian interaction, one study found that anger led to increased speed, the minimum speed when encountering a pedestrian, the probability of passing in front of a pedestrian, and the lateral distance to the pedestrian from the right.
