Avoid cars with stickers and ornaments hanging from the rear-view mirror because the driver is more likely to get angry.
That's the view of researchers from Colorado State University, who claim that drivers displaying these 'territorial markings' in their vehicles are more likely to behave territorially on the road.
They defend their road space, act more aggressively when driving and are subsequently more likely to get angry if they feel that other drivers have invaded their territory.
