Many individuals tend to care less about the welfare of others, and ignore the fact that their careless mistake, while driving in the worst scenario, could take the life of another person. I agree with this report, because every action of a driver on the road does affect everyone else. We, as drivers, should take the time out to be courteous and cautious drivers, not only to avoid headaches and problems for yourself, but for others as well. Perhaps if more of the harmful results, statistics, reaction and comments from victims, and those affected by another person's careless driving, were publicized more, we could make all drivers think and change their driving style and habits for the better. Another topic discussed was conformity.
Most people tend to conform their driving, to avoid tickets, accidents, and higher insurance rates.
Of course their are individuals who conform, without really believing or agreeing with what we are doing, which is compliance. People's compliance and conformity levels are influenced by the actions, and reactions of others. Group pressure and acceptance are some factors that influence driving of individuals. The ego and the desire to fit in, and retain a particular social image, can produce outrageous reasons, in the justification of careless driving. I can really relate to this topic, because I do conform my driving, most of the times for the wrong reasons.
