Exercise 5

Violent traffic disputes are usually not caused by a single incident. Personal attitudes and accumulated stress in motorists' lives bring about violent traffic disputes. Drug use, domestic arguments or violence, racism, the desire to evade or attack police, and the everyday stresses of home, work, and commuting often result in aggressive driving. For the general population, the anonymity and physical excitement of driving, combined with a feeling of control and power and the ability to drive away, sow the seeds of aggression. Because some people drive to "win," they may not arrive safely at their destination. Overpowered cars, drivers' licenses that are easy to qualify for, and sporadically lax enforcement of traffic laws all contribute to this climate.
