WHY DECEMBER CREATES THE RUDEST DRIVERS.A message for every motorist this festive season

December doesn’t magically create bad drivers. It creates overwhelmed people who carry their stress straight onto the road. Road behaviour is emotional behaviour, and December is the month when emotions run high and spill over the edges. It’s the pressure. The money worries. The crowded shops. The deadlines. The family demands. The dark mornings and long queues. The gridlock that steals an hour of your day. The weather that turns every journey into “hard mode.”

By the time most people get behind the wheel, they’re already stretched thin. So a small delay feels personal. A slow driver feels like sabotage. A hesitation at a roundabout feels like an attack. Someone taking a parking space feels like a crime scene. Drivers aren’t rude because they want to be. They’re rude because their emotional load is full — and the car becomes the first place it leaks. But here’s the truth about road psychology:

The road does not care how stressed you are. It only responds to what you do behind the wheel.

  • Stress tightens your grip.
  • Stress narrows your vision.
  • Stress makes you misjudge gaps.
  • Stress replaces patience with impulse.
  • Stress rushes decisions that need calm.

And every rude moment in December has a cost:

  • Someone brakes too late…
  • Someone pulls out too soon…
  • Someone tailgates because their temper is louder than their judgement…
  • Someone risks everything just to prove a point that the road will never reward.

If you want to drive well in December, remember this one truth: You cannot control the weather, the queues, the chaos or the crowds. You can control the state you bring with you. So, breathe before you drive. Leave earlier than you think. Let people make mistakes without making one of your own. And remember that nearly every rude driver you meet this month is not your enemy. They are simply tired. And you do not have to join them.
