How can stress affect a driver’s behaviour?

Correct answer

It can increase hostility and impulsiveness.

It can increase hostility, impulsiveness and risky responses towards other road users. The DGT describes these as possible effects; drivers do not all react alike and they do not always occur. Stress does not guarantee taking fewer risks or obeying signs better. If it affects your ability to drive safely, stop in a safe place and regain calm.
