Answer:

Hyperbole

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements made above could be clearly interpreted statements which are blown out of proportion of the actual occurrence. It is best called an exaggeration. The speaker is trying to establish how impatient he feels waiting for the traffic light to turn green and give a go when he's late and the speed of other drivers. The statements made shouldn't be given a literal or exact interpretation as the exact meaning are over exaggerated of the actual happening. Sentences of this nature have figure if speech referred to as HYPERBOLE
