And we also trust others to do the same because that s just what everyone does almost all the time. Then, he explains that there 3types of commitment residing in trust. Minimal commitment can be seen when drivers don t really care about other drivers or rules and often lost in daydreams. Circumscribed commitment occurs when drivers try to satisfy their own desires by controlling others. Such drivers may honk or yell at other driver or tailgate.
Authentic commitment is evident when drivers negotiate exchanges while they are driving.
These drivers are the best drivers because they don t create any anxiety upon other drivers. Another aspect of trust he talks about is fiduciary trust. That is, people trust others who they believe have a moral obligation to defend individual interests and community standards. For example, drivers have fiduciary trust for police officers to take care of any car accidents in traffic. And people follow traffic signs or rules because those are made by people who we have fiduciary trust for.
