cars make people psychotic
-

I thought people were meaner online because they couldn't be physically threatened. But it could be that social norms go out the window in any different context, IRL or otherwise
-
some of that must apply to driving too. people feel similarly anonymous and protected from social consequences in their cars.
-
You're right. It's not the physical threat (you can still be physically threatened by other cars) as much as reputational harm that seems to make people nicer
-
not nicer. more decorous and restrained. they do all their mean bastardry in private.
