Who knows man, really? Me? nah, being in my car lightens my mood, but then I love driving my car. Not only that, but I tend to be a light hearted person to begin with in most circumstances.. which, leads me to believe even more, that cars have little to do with how people CHOOSE to react and act on events.
I can see however, if an individual has an anger problem, that being in a metal coffin would increase said problem, due to the fact that there arises that "control problem". So, yes, I don't think cars are on the helping matters side. But I really don't think they cause it.
I'm a FIRM believer in not blaming my actions on ANY outside factor. I believe that we, everyone of us willing make our choices to be negative or positive. That's putting it rather simply, but I don't discard that other factors can come into play, but ultimately, if a driver chooses to run you over... it's not because they've had to drive a vehicle all day.. it's because they ALREADY have issues. So, if you're in the grocery store.. that same person could flip out on you because you went for ben and jerry's instead of sealtest.
I think Im wording all that right.. but eh..
