Sometimes, people get really angry when they're stuck in traffic. It's like if you were waiting in line for ice cream and someone cut in front of you, that makes you mad. When people are already frustrated from being stuck in traffic, even a little thing can make them start yelling or fighting. It’s not just about the cars, it’s about how we feel when we're stressed.
Examples
- A man gets angry when someone doesn’t let him merge in traffic and starts yelling at them.
- Two drivers start arguing over who was going to turn first, then they both roll down their windows and shout at each other.
- A woman gets out of her car and yells at the driver who cut her off, then she walks away as if nothing happened.
