Such persons get into road accidents much more often than others. Unbridled aggression and mental state lead to problems on the road. Driving a car in inadequate condition often ends in conflicts with other road users.
In an interview with the Avtosota.com portal, doctor-psychotherapist, candidate of medical sciences Yevhen Moroz explained how the behavior on the road depends on the mental state of the driver.
"If a person is prone to aggression and is in an excited state, his driving style will be more abrupt, and he himself will not always be able to correctly assess the road situation. As a result, driving a car becomes sloppy, dangerous, and the driver begins to enter into conflicts with other road users."

For persons prone to aggression or those who are under stress, the specialist recommended to switch their attention to something else and wait to "cool down". For this, you can perform breathing exercises. According to Moroz, it is best to give yourself 15 minutes. Disregarding this rule prevents the driver from soberly assessing the situation.
