Road Rage Might be Genetic

If you find yourself angry while driving...just blame your parents!

According to psychologists at the University of Houston, if you get angry behind the wheel a lot, you may be experiencing “accelerousal”. It sounds silly but, it’s a real thing. Basically it means you have road rage and experts believe it might be genetic. People who experience it deal with about 50% more stress than drivers who don’t. Even small things can trigger accelerousal like having to hit the brakes for a red light. They also discovered that drivers who showed signs of stress were much more exhausted after reaching their destination.
