In order to be respectful to a fellow driver, one first has to be mindful of them… to notice the reality of them… isn’t that true? The dictionary uses the phrase “consideration toward others” to describe politeness.
Let’s consider this for a second, shall we? The more you move on toward being a safe driver, the easier it is to observe that the common denominator to
defensive driving is your awareness of what’s occurring beyond your vehicle body boundaries.
Most all the issues, minus one, that can turn you into an aggressive driver go around events inside the passenger compartment. Phone calls, chatting to passengers, text messages, enjoying music… all this stuff is what distracts you from paying attention to fellow drivers.
Another part here is your attitude. Mull it, if you are displeased about something, a driver's seat is not the best spot to be and you should be self-conscious enough to adjust your mode of driving until you simmer down, or not drive at all. Your criterion should always be politeness.
If you are respectful then a bunch of nice things are occurring in that computer in your brainpan. When you are nice, you are focusing on what’s outside. You are also mindful to other drivers' demands, which is as good as it gets. There are rafts of occasions on the average journey around town to be polite to other drivers. They may not constantly perceive your politeness, but they generally do. In my lengthy experience those little favors you donate to complete strangers generally get returned back to you by other complete strangers as if by white magic… kind of cool really. You out of the blue observe drivers allowing you into tight spots when earlier they acted up like jerks… white magic I warn you.
If you will just risk to be as polite as possible to other drivers for six days, I foreshow you will be pleasantly surprised. It really modifies your whole perspective on driving while at the same time distinctly identifying you as a authentic class act. Who among us doesn’t want to be a class act?
What ends up occurring, is that you before long find yourself fishing for opportunities to give the other driver a break, which leaves you feeling good about yourself. It also directs you… pay attention here… directs you beyond the bubble in your car. You are concentrating on what’s occurring out there much more, when you risk to be respectful to other drivers.
This little exercise in human relations can convert you from a so-so driver to a pro in no time. So… you if you wish to be an expert driver, it’s that easy… just cut the other driver some slack. Even if they don’t recognize it, you will be a better human being and an expert driver for doing it.
