Interesting. I've always wondered about that and thought that very same thing, where in the aftermath of a terror attack accidents occur more frequently in Israel, due to its sheer size and the fact it is always on edge.

On 9/11 I was stunned and mad.
On 9/12 I was even madder.
On 9/13 I kept thinking about how to get the terrorists and very little on my driving.
I was lucky on not having a wreck but I was not paying as much attention to traffic.

The resources spent on these sorts of stupid studies would be better sent on security.

Arm the sociologists and put them on the border.

On second thought, forget it. Who's want to be around armed sociologists?

Hypothesis: a subset of the population is very strongly affected by anxiety. Following an attack, they are too freaked out to drive. Three days later, they either feel juuuust well enough to get behind the wheel, or their larders are finally empty, so they have no choice.
