How many driving instructors would discuss with their pupils: The effect that emotions have on driving?
There have been a number of road rage incidents recently and even people dying due to some mistake made on the road. We are all human beings and we do make mistakes but I guess it’s how we react to those mistakes that we have to consider.
Imagine somebody pulling out in front of you. Our reaction can be one of: forgiveness, calmness and getting on with our lives or as some people do, becoming very angry and now very dangerous.
When we become angry we ignore all the things around us with a determination just to get our own back. Guess which one is going to have the crash!
It is only by instilling a sense of responsibility into young drivers and also awareness about the consequences of some of our actions, but we can do something about these reactions.
We cannot take the human being out of the driving and we cannot take the emotion out of the human being, but we can learn how to react to these things and become better people and better drivers for it.
Make sure you pick a driving instructor who teaches you a sense of awareness and responsibility. Pick Reality driving school
Very interesting read! had never really given much thought to the affect emotions and mood can have on driving. Definately something to think about!!
