I went to the topic of Traffic Psychology and found last semester's files called Generation 1. Looking through the Generation 1 Traffic files, I came across the reports of Joleen Lai, Jae Isa, and Shane Agaki which discussed speeding as one of their main topics in traffic psychology. She points out that speeding in traffic doesn't result in getting to a destination faster than anyone el se. Lai states that on a small island, speeding not only causes accidents, but it also gets a person in trouble with the police. I agree with her feelings on a speeder not arriving at a destination faster and I often laugh when I see the brake lights of speeding cars as they approach traffic on the freeway at peak time.
Traffic is traffic, whether at the front, middle or the back.
A person still has to sit in his or her car and wait. The impatience of such drivers amuse me because they know they have to go through traffic anyway. She speeds when she feels that a car behind her is in a rush or to be clear of an intersection to oncoming cars that want to mak e turns. When asked why she speeds, she feels it is rude if she doesn't. Isa tells of an ironic situation of teaching her sister not to speed when she does so herself.
