A great story with a human angle.
It is interesting, when the personal connection with the other party is not present or is reduced, how personalities can change. Email / news groups / etc. regularly erupt in flamewars, people making snide comments, etc.
The same thing happens often when people get in their vehicle. In their own little world, drivers aren't always as aware of their actions and behaviors as they should be (or how their actions impact other drivers, for instance).
I know I have been guilty of this from time to time.
This is another call to really just bring an awareness to your actions and who/what they may affect.
- Caballera 15y agoYeah it interesting. I work Tech Support, and often get angry customers, when I deal with them I have to try and remember where they are coming from, how they feel and think, otherwise I end up angry myself and it makes it a lot harder to deal with them.
- johngalt 15y agoTinted Windows I've noticed other drivers are more courteous when I'm driving a car without tinted windows. Specifically I had two cars. One was an older standard cab pickup with no window tint anywhere (think fishbowl) and the other was a luxury car with dark window tint and a black interior. Night and day difference between how I was treated on the road. These are the same routes driven similar times. My own little observation that seeing the other driver causes you to treat them differently subconsciously. Truck drivers may have a similar issue being unseen. Edit: Also as a pedestrian it's nice to see where a driver is/isn't looking.
