Do more people drive on the road with tunnel vision ?

Question

im not saying that im the best driver on the road ,but i do have common sense . reason why i asked this question because many of times while driving on the interstate ive approach drivers who tell gate and have a last minute reaction of getting over . i for one dont tell gate because i like to be in control and 2 its a waste of energy and your brakes . how many times do you watch a tailgater slam on their brakes . why not just get over before you even approach the slow moving vechicle ? the only answer i can think of is more people on the road can only see most of the time what ahead of them and thats it . ive also had a lot of run in with tail gator i have watch just keep slamming on their brakes in front of me and as soon as they see my blinker its like something that click in their head oh!! i need to get over then they cut me off the road . now this is what sometimes can get a person a road rage including myself . im not one for starting accident ,cutting people off the road but nothing pisses me off more then this . so can someone please explain who can understand where im coming from . i mean if i see someone speeding or put their blinker on before im getting over i will let them pass .

Answer 1

Th is what I do, hope that it helps.......

Two defenses against road rage that are simple and easy to follow are

courteous driving and reporting aggressive drivers to the authorities

promptly.

Answer 2

I can relate to that. There was one time I was just driving as per normal, then there was this big truck from behind tailgate me and hi beamed me... He tailgate me is one thing. If he tailgate me but never hi beamed me, I'll just let it pass... But he tailgate me and hi beamed me, so I purpose slow down and when he's about to overtake me, I accelerate to prevent him from overtaking me... Then he go behind me and hi beamed me again, so I purposely slow down again, he try to overtake me and I accelerate again. The process keep repeating for a few time. Until he got fed up and blow a long horn... As if I was intimidated... It's a pity the road split into 2, and he was not going the way I was, could've play with him a little longer... I got a thrill out of it!

Answer 3

if your worried about other peopkle tailgating then your not concentrating on your own business...unless of course you notice this by driving defensively.  I agree with you I don't tell gate, often.  I leave about three to four seconds ahead of me.  

"Tunnel Vison" is called by extreme stress or aggitation.  Someone with tunnel vison will wreck.  Leave your anger off the road.

Dont worry about the ppl behind you, they usually get tailgate and get mad because they are not smart enough to realize they dont have to run there car to get plqces on time if they wopuld just leave there starting point sooner.  they are angered that ppl are preventing them from speeding, thus you are preventing them from wasting there gas more rapidly.  They usually honk there horn, yell at you, flash there lights, pass you they might even bump you a lil bit when u stop i say Fugg them.  

O on a pecular note....stress is increased when u tailgate someone....when u do look for them to touvch there face or stroke there hair.   that is a sign of  (body language) stress
