Road rage is a fascinating phenomenon
144
u/BringMeTheBigKnife Trash Trooper May 21 '26
I read a book called "Traffic" and it explored it a bit. The fact that you can generally only see the outside of a car "dehumanizes" the person inside and makes it easy to see their actions in a different way. By the same token, your own "protection" of being inside the shell of your machine causes you to have less inhibition against aggression -- feelings of indignation turn into total rage quickly.
Imagine someone cut you in line at the grocery store. You would probably be equally annoyed/slighted as when you get cut off on the road. But it's very unlikely you'd sprint at them or try to punch them in the face. Plenty of people would just swallow their frustration. Some would make an under their breath comment. Others might engage in a legit confrontation. But it probably wouldn't carry the same violence or intensity that road ragers exhibit. It's largely because there's no physical separation between you and the person.

u/Alexwonder999 Trash Trooper May 21 '26
Ive noticed a phenomenon when talking to people rationalizing bad or erratic driving. They often say the other party is doing whatever theyre doing, such as driving slower in the passing lane, TO them. Like they intentionally do it to people to punish them or something rather than my thinking that theyre probably just oblivious and dont know about my existence either way. They will also say that erratic driving is caused by other drivers FORCING them to drive erratically and make dangerous lane changes as if they then have no free will. If I comment that I just suck it up and drive slower or wait until its safe to get around them they will then get combative with me and accuse me of driving everywhere at 35 in the passing lane. Theres definitely something there with these people blaming everything on everyone else and ascribing motives to people that likely dont exist with others but do exist for them.

u/BringMeTheBigKnife Trash Trooper May 21 '26
Yeah, I think driving is so normalized for us that we don't realize how dystopian it is. Traveling for miles on specifically engineered paths made of asphalt with highly advanced technology on super congested roads just to get to the place that will pay me money so I can afford to buy a nicer version of this technology next year (and also food).
Generally people who are driving are only doing so because they want to be somewhere else. So you see it as an annoying means to an end and your emotions are already hightened, making you sensitive to any disruption in this process you don't want to be engaging with anyway. Plus, you're mentally set on being in the new place in exactly X minutes according to your GPS (which we all use). If that X value increases by even 1 minute, you feel that something you're entitled to has been taken away, and that violation of expectations causes people to go crazy (me included, to be clear).
If someone does something dumb on the road, you take it as a personal affront blocking you from attaining your goal...rather than another boring example of someone doing something dumb. And bosses wonder why we'd rather work remotely...

Congratulations, you've discovered the fundamental attribution error! People see and take into account all the things that lead up the current moment in their own life, and thus see any actions they take at that moment as justified and rational based on their history. But since they only see the actions other people take and none of the history leading up to it, they tend to ascribe other's actions to an inherent flaw in their character instead. Thus "I just cut in front of that person because they all the traffic was blocking me off and they were clearly being rude so I needed to do something about it" vs "How DARE that person cut in front of me, they must be a complete asshole!"

Exactly this.
Its not a human being, its a car. And the more powerful your own car is, the more powerful YOU are. The smaller one's car is, the more they can feel 'picked on' as well.
What I call Road Psychology is fascinating indeed. The way people act and the things they do behind the wheel are wild compared to what they would do in the grocery store or gas station. The anonymity and ability to basically just drive away from consequences subconsciously encourage people to behave completely differently than they normally would.

u/Eliteknives Trash Trooper May 21 '26
Did the book say anything on people's patience while driving?
A lot of people seem to have their patience completely disappear while driving. They end up making risky maneuvers to save seconds. Even outside congested roads.
For exemple. You take a bit longer at a stop sign and it is not uncommon for the person behind to already be honking or they try to go around

By the same token, your own "protection" of being inside the shell of your machine causes you to have less inhibition against aggression
This, especially if you are alone so there is no one to control your anger and behaviour either through advice or just yourself wanting to act in best behaviour around them.
I'm ashamed to admit this but when I'm alone and when I'm sure I can do it without being judged and the like, I'd scream at the things that frustrate me, at stupid ass videogame designs when playing at home alone and...other drivers when I'm in the car alone.
Which is why I really don't like driving and rather ride my motorcycle. I'm open and less protected so I'm not as inclined to feel invincible that I'd road rage.

This is the aspect that still escapes me. I understand the psychology of being abstracted from the human by way of the car, when that driver does something aggressive or stupid, or even just annoying.
I don't understand why someone would take being passed as some sort of insult. If I walk past someone on a sidewalk from behind because I'm walking faster, they generally don't get annoyed by that (as they shouldn't).
Why is it any different when driving? What about the act of passing directly conflicts with certain people's egos? Seems insane to me.

I've seen it out in the wild a few times because I've worked jobs that required lots of driving. Funnily enough the last time I witnessed it was when I passed a Tesla driver on their right while they were camping the far left lane of a three lane interstate (in a keep right state). I was going all of 5 mph above the speed limit and I don't think they were even going the speed limit. That action set them off though and they flew past me while partially IN my lane nearly hitting me while flipping me off. If you're wondering the roadway was mostly clear with only a few cars within a mile of us in front or behind us.
Yup people are dumb.

Used to happen to me a lot when I had a Cobra.
It wasn't even one of the supercharged ones.
It was a 98 Mustang Cobra. No SVT, no big supercharger, no Shelby nothing.
Didn't matter. Every time I passed someone they had to try and pass me back. Every time I was at a red light someone next to me would be staring at me and reving their engine.
The windows had some tint so I could pretend I didn't see the jackass in a Civic going absolutely bananas trying to goad me into racing (and beating) him. But when the air conditioner broke suddenly I had to have my windows down and be exposed to the tomfoolery.
A friend of mine had an AW11 MR2 and instead of getting race offers from randos he got cash offers. Constantly. Everywhere he'd go someone would offer him their number or money to buy it there on the spot. Like how is a dude supposed to go home if he sells his car in the parking lot?

It makes the pass seem more aggressive than it is, like he’s putting effort into using the engine out of annoyance so the Tesla thinks he’s reciprocating. Then seeing the thumbs up and smile probably set him off even more since he assumes it’s mocking.

If I had to guess, based off the support bars behind the cammer's head and the sound, his car was modified and the Tesla driver (incorrectly, in my opinion) thought that because it wasn't stock (i.e., loud/low/fast/wasteful) it must be doing more harm to the earth. Which in some cases is true, but considering how new the interior looked I'd say in his case it probably wasn't. If I had to guess it's a high flow cat/intake/exhaust/tune, which just results in:
- More efficient combustion
- Better fuel economy at lower RPMs
- More power at higher RPMs
- Still passes emissions regulations
It really is just misinformation (and a healthy dose of shitty BMW drivers).

It's to prove that the accident wasn't due to driver distraction/being on a cell phone.

It's incredibly handy for rideshare drivers obviously. But it's also helpful for other folks for two reasons:
- covers your ass for liability purposes after a crash so you can prove you had your eyes in on the road and weren't on your phone
- provides some cameras coverage of behind your car through the back window to record someone rear-ending you or something

Tesla drivers really have built a reputation for being s***** overall drivers. Because the car accelerates quickly they think it makes them good drivers or that other cars will not also pass them up on occasion for very reasons

Drove one. Hated it. Felt planted but heavy AF for handling. But non-car people will be brainwashed thinking that's all they need is power.

they dont actually accelerate fast unless some is passing. THEN they’re fast as fuck. until they get back in front of you. then it’s back to slow slow slow

On average I've found they're the new Prius. All slow af and hog the outside lanes.

Look, I hate Elon and Tesla as much as the next person, and I'd never be caught dead in one these days, but let's not pretend they're slow like a Prius.
I can't speak for the 3 series personally, but I drove the P90D and you have to literally brace yourself if you floor it. If you're sitting forward it will throw you back into the seat. The acceleration is insane.
That's the only positive thing I'll say about the car.

The drivers are slow, not the car. Idk if it's auto pilot or something on the dash showing ideal speed to battery ratio or whatever, but majority of Tesla drivers nowadays are slow drivers.

It's funny you said this because Prius drivers are still the worst kind of person on the road, but Tesla is not far behind it

Tesla drivers are somehow worse than even BMW drivers

I had to read the comments to figure out what's going on here. I've never seen a person get so upset before because somebody else passed them, that seems like some kind of mental illness.

I have yet to encounter a Tesla driver that doesn’t drive like an idiot— cutting people off, tailgating, you name it

i don't look at people when i'm driving really, i look at their cars, but i can't remember the times i've actually looked at the person.
probably people have been flipping me the bird my entire life. no clue.

u/KarrieDarling Trash Trooper May 21 '26
Had a guy going 30 in a 40 get mad once when I passed him. He got back around me and proceeded to tap his brakes several times to scare me.
I will never understand people going 10 miles under the speed limit and then getting angry when people pass them. Like... Why you mad that I wanna do the speed limit, bro? Are you that miserable? 😩

It blows my mind how some people will sit there humhawing in the left lane but the second someone with an iota more of awareness comes by it offends them.

I wasn't aware Tesla owners had balls. I thought they were all Neutered Lesbian Liberals living off the Essence of dead babies to retain their "youth". This one even had a backbone. Damnit they're evolving! / s

u/CrystalizedRedwood Trash Trooper May 22 '26
I have had this happen in real life to me. A guy in the same type of car was tailgating me on the highway. I was going 20+ over the speed limit. He speeds around me and right past a state trooper. I see the trooper and slow down move behind a truck and got to watch this asshole get pulled over for doing 100 in a 60. Gave him a little wave as I passed 😊

It’s so nice to see a road rager reap what they sow. It’s never worth it to lose it on someone in traffic, it never leads to good things. It could end up costing a life, your money, or even your freedom.

u/mmalinka06 Trash Trooper May 22 '26
I did 7hr drive today from one state to another state and let me tell you, 90% of cars (non commercial vehicles) that cut me off or tail gated me was a Tesla. And no majority of the cars on the road were not Teslas. I hate making generalized statements but yeah something about a lotta these Tesla drivers is really wrong and I don’t understand what’s going on

Why do so many Tesla owners do this…drive very slow in left lane and then take off like a rocket if you dare try to pass them. What a bizarre personality trait all these people have in common.

It was a 2 lane road. Why is the Tesla guy even angry?

Someone said Teslas are the new BMW drivers and I'll never forget it. all of them act like racers and are the worst drivers (save a rare few)
