    No, an instinct cannot explain complex human behaviors accurately.

    Explanation:

    Instinct is a spontaneous reaction manifested within the patterns of animal behavior. The human instinct is very complex, since man is an animal that thinks and lives in an environment and in a culture. For this reason, human instinct cannot accurately explain complex human behaviors, because these behaviors may be influenced by other factors. In Joe's case, the behavior of hating people who drive while talking on their cell phones was influenced by their sense of safety in traffic.
