I’d assume driving would be the worst for mental health since you don’t get any exercise and can’t do anything else either. You can finish some work or read a book on the train, or get some exercise through walking or biking, but with cars none of these.
Add to it the environment of driving involves a varying degree of competitive, combative and frustrating events to get down the road. Ratcheting your psych up with no physical outlet.
Most of the time I try to be as Zen as possible, but even with mental fortitude it can be difficult to keep your cool when idiots are doing all sorts of shenanigans to get two car lengths ahead or won’t let you in or whatever.
I drove a diesel engine car for a while and felt everyone was so SLOW even on the fast lane, as if they’re sightseeing or something. Then I tried a gasoline car and I noticed that I have a better temper. Turns out the diesel engine vibration is more noticeable at low RPM and it’s getting to my nerves.
