Signs, premonitions and other alien things, it seems, should not affect the lives of motorists in our technologically advanced and rational age. However, practice shows that there is something behind this. At least, having had an accident, we often begin to understand that fate warned us, to which we for some reason did not react. Portal “AutoVzglyad” understands this annoying problem.
Agree that no matter how carefully you drive a car, there is still a certain mystique of an unfriendly reality. Quite capable of giving us unpleasant surprises (then they are described, starting with the words “how I felt”). And if you think about it, as a rule, any stressful or emergency situation is preceded by signs that are not obvious at first glance, that you just need to be able to discern. And Friday the 13th is a good time to discuss this issue.
Early morning. I left the house and walked to the car. Thoughts are busy planning the day, and fine and prickly snow with gusts of wind coming out of nowhere quickly spoil the mood. Then I slipped and almost fell. Dropped the key right into the snowdrift. The car did not start the first time. And at the beginning of the movement, I did not notice that the car was moving along the road. He gestured to me, I replied irritably and drove off, already aggressively perceiving the participants in the movement: if not as enemies, then as clearly unfriendly competitors.
All this is quite a typical situation for the inhabitants of the metropolis, but we rarely realize that these are the first signs of more serious problems. The fact is that distracted attention and a negative emotional background provoke a guaranteed incorrect assessment of the situation. On the road, where all road users move at high speed and perhaps just as inattentive as you, this not only leads to a significant increase in the risk of an accident. On a subconscious level, you become inclined to escalate conflicts with other participants in the movement.
Basically becoming a mobile provocateur, attracting accidents and involving other drivers. In addition, it is impossible to ignore various types of premonitions. Despite some irrationality, they can be very real. Because they are based on a subconscious assessment of the current situation against the background of previously accumulated experience. For example, some time ago you got into a difficult situation in a certain corner under similar conditions. Which left a deep emotional imprint in your mind.
And even if you have already forgotten, the subconscious has not yet. And perhaps the same set of factors is present today, meaning that the risk of the accident happening again is high. Let’s just say my navigator thought it a particularly bad omen if I dropped my helmet. And to get rid of bad karma, it was necessary to wipe it with a damp cloth. It would seem – stupidity. But on the other hand, if I drop the helmet, then at the moment I have problems with coordination and I have to deal with this somehow.
Basically, if you realize that the morning got off to a bad start and something goes wrong, try restarting the day. Relax and regain your peace of mind. Evaluate the actions of other participants in the movement, not from the position of the aggrieved party, but from the point of view of a cold-blooded researcher who, aware of the imperfection of the world, tries to understand the reasons for his failures. The main thing is not to think that the road was built just for you and that you are the center of the universe. If you encounter accidents along the way (in your lane or in the opposite lane), drive through them as carefully and carefully as possible. After all, it is at this moment that the attention of other road users is fragmented and they can now arrange their own accident. So try to drive sensibly. And smart almost always means safe. And listen to your inner voice. Especially on Friday the 13th.
