The Psychology of Vehicle Breakdowns – Coping Strategies for Drivers
It’s never a fun experience to have your car break down on the side of the road. Any kind of car
trouble can potentially ruin your day, whether it’s a flat tire, a dead battery, or anything more
catastrophic with the engine. However, a vehicle breakdown can have more of an emotional
effect on you than just the difficulties of getting your vehicle back on the road. An emotional
outburst can cause a range of negative feelings, from fear and hopelessness to irritation and
anger.
