Unpopular opinion: you should not feel safe in a car, because you are not.
You are inside a weapon that kills more people than any other combined, so you should always be on high alert all the time.
If you're unable to drive under pressure then you shouldn't.

He said safer, not feels safer.

Yeah I know, I don't get what you mean

Being screamed at in a small metal box while going at speed may result in instant action. This is great if you're being told to brake, not so much if you're being told to turn

You're arguing you shouldn't feel safe in a car because you aren't. OP is arguing that someone yelling fundamentally makes you less safe because of the distraction and stress.

Yeah but, but while one thing doesn't exclude the other, that wasn't the point of my comment. The point was that you should be able to drive under stress without panicking, no matter what. Otherwhise people get hurt.
