Answer: Political bumper stickers
Clues: “Party” and “Display”
A new study found political bumper stickers make you a road rage magnet. You’re significantly more likely to be honked at if you have one.
900 volunteers watched simulated driving videos that showed people cutting them off, or driving like idiots. And they had to rate how likely they’d be to honk at them for it.
Some cars had bumper stickers supporting one party or the other, and some had no bumper stickers at all. The study found that seeing a bumper sticker you agree with has almost no effect. You’re just as likely to honk, or not honk.
But if that moron who didn’t use a blinker has views that don’t align with yours, you’re much more likely to honk, yell, or maybe extend a finger.
