If you take a system where everybody does similar and add something that does not, this is going to cause problems. This is going to cause problems even if the dissimilar behavior is the proper legal behavior.
Erratic behavior causes accidents, be it driving too slow, too fast, weaving, impaired, etc...
Now, if all the cars drove the same way, we'd be fine. We'd have very few accidents. However, we don't. So, we bump into stuff.
- platz 9y agoErratic behavior, due to following traffic laws?
- mst 9y agoFrom the point of view of drivers who're used to everybody bending the rules to a certain level, strictly following the rules is at the very least unexpected; 'erratic' is perhaps an overly strong word but I think the general point is sound.
- KGIII 9y agoIf it helps, you can call it things like non-standard. We don't actually tend to follow all the rules of the road. Like all changes in traffic, we will adapt. It takes time. Something like a rotary can take 18 months before traffic fully adapts. I can't speculate as to how long this will take.
