About Those Bumper Stickers.....

stix
A Colorado State University social psychologist conducted a study and his findings are that drivers who plop a bumper sticker on their vehicle stand a greater chance of being involved in road rage. Matter of fact, his research leads him to believe those with bumper stickers are the ones primarily causing the road rage.

The study also includes cars with window decals and personalized license plates

Lots of parents proudly display "My son is an honor student" on the back of their mini van. But according to this study it does not seem to matter the content of the sticker, decal or license plate.

According to the research, people who "personalize" their vehicle are typically more aggressive drivers who act out their road frustrations more so than those who do not decorate their vehicles.

Not sure I agree with this study, but it's interesting.
