I think the insecurity of people's jobs and (un)affordability of rent in London exacerbate levels of stress related to whether you're going to get to your job on time.
Yep, thats probably it.
Although I do wonder why people exhibit the same behaviour whilst driving 4x4s out in deep Surrey while I'm trying to enjoy a Sunday ride.

It feels self-perpetuating. When you're surrounded by people darting about in a stressed panic I find it's hard to remain calm and relaxed. I suspect a lot of people would be calm if there weren't such a number of rushing morons.
I make a conscious effort to avoid busy roads even if it means adding on time/distance to my journey.
