- Habit = Training = Habit! If it's not in your brain circuitry and your muscle memory you cannot possibly act on it. So, first in mind, then in practice until 'onboard' and then in reality = now available to you as needed. We can only do as we've learnt to do, consciously or unconsciously.
- So T-A-P into your driving potential. Training - Awareness - Practice.
- Innate actions, instinctive or 'knee-jerk' reactions can be totally inappropriate in driving situations. Even fatal.
- They were there to help us on foot over the millenia, not our 21st century conditions on wheels. Now at 10-30 times our walking speed!
- Training, awareness and practice can overcome these flawed tendencies. But you do need to experience them in a safe environment first!
- How many drivers have ever been taught how to drive effectively at today's speeds on all types of road including Motorways?
Because it 'feels' right. Remember, even the worst drivers think they're good. Because they're comfortable with what they're doing. Even if they don't know what it is!
I've been with some incredibly dangerous drivers who have no awareness of how bad their driving is or even that it's bad at all! No one would drive badly or dangerously or inappropriately if they knew better. Not you or me good reader. Heaven forbid.
It's those other buggers out there! Lol. But in reality they don't know any more or less than any other driver. Unless trained to a higher level of awareness we all remain a little above baby driver status. Unconscious of our actions and in ignorance of a wonderful new level of driving just beyond our current reach.
Same roads yet a different reality awaits your arrival. That is truly the Road less Travelled.
In the meantime it's easier to blame everybody else. But remember, "when you point the finger of blame, one finger points forward whilst fully three fingers point back to you!" Chinese saying.
