Aggressive driving can occur when a driver is influenced by:

Aggressive driving is primarily influenced by impaired emotions, which can result from various stresses or frustrations in a driver’s personal life or on the road. When emotions such as anger, frustration, or impatience are heightened, a driver may engage in behaviors that are considered aggressive, such as tailgating, weaving in and out of traffic, or excessive speeding. This emotional state can lead to poor decision-making and a lack of regard for safety on the road, putting both the aggressive driver and others at risk.

While external distractions, weather conditions, and vehicle performance issues can certainly impact driving, they do not specifically point to the emotional state that drives aggressive behavior. External distractions may draw attention away from the road, but they do not necessarily lead to aggressive driving. Weather conditions can affect how a driver behaves, often requiring more caution, and vehicle performance issues can lead to unsafe driving, but again, these factors do not inherently involve impaired emotions impacting driving style. Therefore, the strongest connection to aggressive driving is indeed related to impaired emotions.
