You blast your music or talk on the phone to insulate yourself. You distract yourself with select social relationships so you don't have to relate with any other drivers on the road. It's also a strategy to avoid getting frustrated in the first place.
Piece of advice: Music is a great way to keep calm under pressure. Remember, if you are going to be on the phone, be sure to use a hands-free option, don’t get distracted, and for goodness sake never text.
