The different types of screaming drivers that exist

I wouldn't call myself an aggressive driver, but I can get worked up about all sorts of things in the car. I don't shout at other people, but I do complain loudly throughout the entire ride, because for example, things aren't going fast enough for me or because I notice that people absolutely can't drive.

Well, there are different types of screamers in the car. How can we recognize them by their statements and what is the reason for raising their voices? You can read that below:

1. The complaining driver
This is me. The complaining driver is whining loudly about almost everything that happens on the road throughout the ride. This complaining is a form of impatience and is mainly fueled by people who, in the eyes of the complainer, are driving too slowly. In my opinion, people can always drive just a bit faster, so naturally, I complain non-stop. As soon as I overtake someone, I always take a look at who is behind the wheel, after which I standardly conclude that it would be better if that person handed in their driver's license:

• ‘Then go to the RIGHT! Jesus, why are you driving on the left if you're going so slowly?’
• ‘HELLO! You can just drive 120 kilometers per hour here, you know.’
• ‘Yeah right, otherwise you'll be driving even slower. Fine.’
• ‘Old man, just hand in that driver's license.’
• ‘At this slow pace, you're causing accidents, life-threatening.’
• ‘Just go to the right, sir.’

2. The lost driver
Getting lost on the road happens to all of us, even with navigation on it can still happen. For example, when you receive a notification on your phone and miss the exit, or at the moment when Google Maps decides to stop working. At such moments, panic sets in and you start screaming anxiously. At whom? Of course at the navigation, after all, it's his/her (depending on which voice you have set) fault that you are now lost:

• ‘Please do something!’
• ‘Of course. Just stop completely then.’
• ‘Hello, are you going to work or what?’
• ‘Pfff, what a pathetic rock system, it's fucking 2022.’
• ‘I might as well put a map in the car, damn.’

3. The driver who is late
Nothing is as annoying as being stuck in traffic. This naturally causes the necessary frustration, especially when you are about to be late. The driver who is late screams helplessly into the void and secretly hopes that this screaming will lead to more flow in traffic. The driver who is late has a habit of being late anyway and is therefore all too happy to blame the traffic jam:

• ‘Now I'm just going to be late, huh?’
• ‘Yaaa, is it that time again?’
• ‘If we all just keep driving a little, we wouldn't be here now.’
• ‘Every day the same song. Why is everything so poorly organized in this country?’
• ‘Hello, you're speaking with ... I'm unfortunately a bit late because I'm stuck in a huge traffic jam. Probably another accident.’

4. The driver who argues with his/her partner
Couples in the car: that's asking for trouble. I also always get into an argument when I'm sitting next to my partner in the car. I think nine out of ten times that he drives like an idiot and he thinks the opposite that I can't navigate. Both have a kernel of truth. Additionally, you sometimes spot people on the road who are alone in the car and are screaming like crazy at their dashboard. Most likely, there is a phone on that dashboard, with the driver's partner on the other end of the line:

• ‘If you don't stop now, I'll drop you off on the shoulder and I certainly won't pick you up.’
• ‘Then drive yourself if you know everything so well.’
• ‘Don't scream like that!!!’
• ‘You have one job and that is to navigate. How hard can it be?’
• ‘I'm driving, you'll cause an accident.’

5. The startled driver
Some people really drive like idiots and scare the life out of you. It's quite logical that you scream when that crazy person cuts you off on the highway and almost causes your death. The startled driver has the right to scream:
‘Are you out of your mind?’

• ‘I could have been dead, idiot!!’
• ‘Thank you, dear God.’
• ‘Just keep driving, yeah!’
• ‘You don't belong on the road!’

6. The driver who is angry at the world
Finally, you have the aggressive driver who is always furious. We can say that this driver is angry at the world and you can tell by everything. Besides the fact that the angry driver recklessly speeds down the road and tailgates, he/she screams and curses at everything and everyone. I find angry drivers really scary, but I always try to remember that they are probably deeply unhappy:

• ‘Get out of the way, filthy whore!’
• ‘Do you want to die or something?’
• ‘Watch out, stupid bitch!’
• ‘I'm not paying, you weren't paying attention.’
• To the passenger: ‘You saw that too, right? I couldn't do anything about that? That bitch really can't drive.’
