This is an excellent observation. Motorists act in ways while driving that they would never do face to face, especially if they knew you (at least, most of them wouldn't.) While driving, I have had the experience of getting angry at another driver, only to find they were a friend of mine. I don't know if that means I need to cool my anger or if my friends need to learn to drive.

Chris L. said that driving puts you on edge. I know this happens to me, even when I am trying to be calm. I think we instinctively know how dangerous driving a car is and our "fight or flight" reactions take over. After all, try bringing a cat for a ride in your car without a box and see if you don't get a mess in your car.
