This is about as dumb as training kindergarteners to hide during a school shooting. It doesn't address the root problem, angry people who can't handle their emotions in public.

Wrt. the original post - how availability of instant communication between strangers affects civility of the discourse one can just look at Twitter... At least Twitter users usually don't have a 2 ton deadly device right in your immediate vicinity which they can use to substantiate their angry tweet.
- gfodor 7y agoA proximate cause is that other drivers are depersonalized since you see them “embodied” as a car. I think if these could be used to humanize other drivers that would help address that issue. For example, using these signs to say what you are doing eg “going to grandmas!” or who you are eg “just a tired parent, sorry for any bad driving!” would lighten the mood and hopefully trigger empathy in other drivers.
