Why do car owners start behaving aggressively and inappropriately in questionable situations? It turns out that this is often due not to their bad inclinations and desire for
When driving a car on an empty road, we rarely think about how our behavior changes when other cars are around. This is especially evident in city traffic. Moreover, it seems that exactly where the density of the current increases, a person should use his own intellect to the fullest. Paradoxically, however, he begins to give way to reflexes in the city. The latter, in turn, begin to dictate to drivers their own rules of behavior, which we have preserved from primitive times, when any problem was solved with violence and threats. A simple example.
You are driving in the middle lane and another car is driving on the right. At the same time, there is enough space for him so that you can change lanes to the right, and then turn right and turn. And so you turn on the turn signal and start maneuvering. But suddenly the car that was calmly driving on the right begins to accelerate and deprives you of the opportunity to change lanes. After a while, however, it slows down again, giving you room to maneuver. What was it? And most importantly – why?
The fact is that despite our ability to use gadgets and pay with electronic cards, we still have a lot of cavemen in us. And mass behavioral reflexes often and successfully replace intelligence, and we don’t even know it.
When you turned on the turn signal, the driver driving to the right instinctively saw your maneuver as a threat to his personal space in front of him. And ignoring the possibility of reasonable action, the reflex commanded the right foot to step on the gas to protect its property from encroachment. And having committed this act, he returned control of the body to the intellect. And he, calmly assessing the situation, realized that the driver of the car on the left just needed a rebuild. As a result, an already reasonable decision is made to reduce speed to ensure this action.
And this is not an isolated case! You can pay attention to how your body reacts to an attempt by a fellow in the stream to overtake, change lanes, move from the side of the road, and so on. If you are not in the mode of concentration on the controls of the car, the first reflex will always respond. Moreover, its characteristic will always be the creation of a conflict, and therefore a dangerous situation! And this is very bad. But how do you recognize that a reflex is starting to control your behavior? Everything is very simple.
Once an emotional reaction to the actions of other participants in the movement arises, it is safe to say that you have temporarily turned into a Neanderthal incapable of rational action. Emotions always conflict with the mind and give priority to reflexes.
To reduce the level of emotionality in judging other people’s actions, one cannot see other participants in the movement as living and evil beings. And, for example, as an inanimate phenomenon of nature. To which it is useless to shout and be offended. In general, you should first soberly assess the situation, and only then make an already considered decision. This will significantly reduce the number of conflicts on our roads.
