Who are the aggressive drivers?

Posted in Faith and Practice, Culture and Ideas, Humor and Sarcasm at 11:38 am by Jeff

Colorado State University has completed an interesting study of aggressive drivers. They have found that people who mark their cars with decals and stickers are more likely to act out on their “road-rage”. What’s particularly interesting is that it didn’t seem to matter what the messages were on the stickers. Whether the sentiment was “my kid beat up your honor student” or “practice random acts of kindness” the researchers found that the mere presence of bumper stickers was a solid indicator of driver aggression. And the more personal expressions adorning the car, the more aggressive the driver.

I’d like to know if this finding holds true for people with “Christian fish” on their cars.
