Fighting on the road
There are various reasons why people fight while on the road. For example, some families fight over financial matters, a recent affair, disagreement over how to raise children and a myriad of other issues. Drivers also find themselves in the middle of a fight with friends or any other kind of passenger for various reasons. These fights often distract drivers and interfere with their mental focus. In some extreme instances, drivers take their hands off of the wheel in order to protect themselves from a passenger who is trying to hit them.
