The highway is one of the few places where strangers interact in high-stakes environments while shielded by glass and metal. This "anonymity" can lead to deindividuation, where drivers view others as obstacles rather than people. Road rage—ranging from aggressive tailgating to verbal confrontation—is a breakdown of emotional regulation. Understanding that a "cut off" in traffic is usually a mistake rather than a personal slight is key to maintaining a calm cabin environment. Safety is as much about emotional intelligence as it is about mechanical skill; a calm driver is a predictable driver, and predictability prevents collisions.
