I think cars allow us to compensate for things we lack physically and mentally. Any person, male or female can surround themselves with a box that gives them a degree of anonimity and renders them with "super powers" in relation to their own human body. In fact, it's interesting, I see disabled/handicapped drivers driving agressively the majority of the time. Not necissarily the seniors with wheelchair tags but the younger para/quads to whom a vehicle gives the same powers as everyone else. It's like they're acting out their reduced mobility frustrations which I guess is understandable.
The roads are "battle zones" where people may act on things that go through their minds that they would never consider doing in person.
