Aside from the painfully obvious aspect of stressors being subjective, leading most people to remember that what one finds stressful someone else might not?
The increased time to make decisions, as well as the lower risk associated with lower speeds in impacts are probably huge stress relievers for some people.
Myself, I find driving with the flow of traffic the least stressful, though on unfamiliar roads I also find a lot of stress relief in lowering my speed a bit (saves me from missing turnoffs). I do find my stress levels increase when I want to make good time, but the satisfaction of zipping by traffic outweighs it.
