The more expensive the car - the driver hamovatye. That is the conclusion drawn by researchers from the University of Berkeley. For me, for Russia such a correlation is not applicable.
The author has decided to approach the issue from the other end: different groups of drivers rudeness occurs for various reasons, so it is possible to understand, just do what he likes of Aristotle - classification.

Continued under the cut.





Driving style: office

Nervous stress, multitasking, lack of time to sleep ... Office worker goes in different ways at different times of day: in the morning he was sleepy, lethargy and irritability, if someone tries to take it out of the residual sleepiness.
Happy office worker on adrenaline, and because of haste or stress relief drives aggressively and quickly, because the offices draw it as the Death Star - the closer the target, the greater the acceleration.
In the evening office Stakhanovite often depressed as boxers, so limply hanging in the car flow, trying to get to the house on autopilot.
Perhaps he is a good driver and a decent man, but his rudeness stems from two roots: psychological exhaustion and habits to teach those younger status, as in the office, too, has a hazing. It can beep hysterically pedestrian who crosses the street in the wrong place, at the same time he cut someone because the head is full of plans for tomorrow.
If this is not the end of the month (the report) does not start (accretion of premiums) and middle (implementation plan) office worker - a living illustration of the rate of safe driving.

Driving style: professional
These people are driving so long ago that learned to interpret the rules of the road from the height of the driving experience. They are well oriented in the algorithm of traffic lights, excellent sense of the size of the car, behind the wheel often smoke or talk on a cell phone. They are professionals in the Russian sense of the word (not European), which is well illustrated by a phrase overheard me in a dialogue of two workers who collected some complex construction unit, "And I'm telling you how to do, and not as according to instructions." The juxtaposition of real academic knowledge - a characteristic feature of the old school pros, including drivers.
The rest of motorists "pro" feel kettle, and an accident are treated as a necessary evil of their profession. Something like natural wear technology.
Driving for the pros has become such a routine that their rudeness is often unintentional they like and do not admit that they could be wrong, so sometimes we just do not see their own misfires. Signals other drivers cause they sneer, because the signals nervous "kettles", there is little understanding of the present driving.
Since pros spend a lot of time behind the wheel, afford just too careless driving style, they can not, therefore, be wrong to think that they undercut everyone. Yet the free interpretation of the rules is often annoying other drivers, while trying to go pro so as not to create emergencies. Some infuriates their manner huddle in the stream to the other machines, that the position of the pro does not seem a crime: they feel something of its size, "gazelle" is better than the dimensions of his stomach.
In addition, the pros make money, so sometimes rude for commercial reasons. They can race around the tram tracks, irrigating the adjacent machine stone powder, because the time - money.
To mistakes of other professionals usually refer to the condescension and hysterical, as office, fall only on the truly important occasions.

Driving style: cottage
This is the drivers confidence. Driving for them - not fun and not a profession but a way to get somewhere else on the train.
They are not in a hurry, because in any case, will come faster trains. They are not rushing through the ranks, do not exceed speed and think more about how not seasick tomato seedlings. Even if in this moment of seedlings in the cabin there.
Because they are increasingly going in a straight line and in the same breath, the habit of looking in the mirror have atrophied, and the sight is constantly pointed at the horizon that separates them from the garden plot. This far-sightedness does not allow time to notice that the line marking seeping between your legs or behind the line of cars lined up, because the seedlings swayed at any speed above 43 km / h. They may not notice the pedestrian because a pedestrian - not your ovaries strawberries, and that to look at him.
They are not rude in the full sense of the word. Rather, all of them stumble and perceive it as rudeness. Angry at them - all the same that school thrash about which you just a bruised leg.
One and a fairly simple way to deal with the dacha - is overtaking at the first opportunity. Signals useless cottager head in surprise out of it, then grudgingly will wonder what happened. It will support the choir of five or six votes from the back row of a studied repertoire: "Well, where are flying?" "Well, you, the place is small?" "These are then fight».
Summer driving style sometimes glued to the car brands, such as "Volga».

Driving style: women

Just make a reservation - it is found in both men and women go all the way, as described below.
If you look at the car on top of the stream, felt his pulse: the car as blood cells, move the pulse, the beat. But among them there are cells that and then get off stride. That will accelerate too quickly, too slowly rebuilt. They are not faster and no slower than the main stream, they do not violate the rules. But it is going "out of step».
Such machines can be seen even from the rear. Where I want to press the brake, they can shoot at full speed, but stop at some suspicious post for a long time to think, you will not grow out of it a sign of "No Entry". Looking "women" are usually directed somewhere ahead, though not as far as in summer.
Often, we are building a path from our own forecast of the situation. As soon as "women's cars" do not obey the rules of the average, their movements seem illogical and prevent mainstream. Perhaps if all went as a woman, the other outcasts would seem.
Female careful driving style and motive to disturb others, in contrast to the pro or office, they do not. If it happens rudeness, almost inadvertently and unnoticed by the media itself feminine style. Therefore, they are sensitive to criticism, and it angers opponents even more.

Driving style: diarrheal
Sami hawkers this style call it sport, but in motorsport it is not relevant. This style requires the audience, so its passengers catalysts are of the opposite sex or cool machine. The main goal - to get somewhere else, until diarrhea prevailed over sphincter. Diarrhoeal sure that others envy them, though they believe the surrounding deer.
Riding diarrheal abounds deliberate rudeness, which are either part of the educational work of the "brakes", or a demonstration of driving skills. They love to distort the facts in his own favor, and where the car give way to pedestrians on the principle of DDD they are carried away in the belief that "made a two-liter" Mazda ».
Perhaps this is the only style of driving, in which the roughness is not a side effect, and seasoning to delight.
Since diarrhea - a disease nasty, bad media appropriate style control of the situation. That is what distinguishes them from the real competitors. Low sense of responsibility is treated after the nth accident (although there are clinical cases), but diarrheal not like about this spread. Moreover, none of the failures were not guilty. In their version, naturally.

Driving style: lettered

Characteristic for the people who got rich faster than their brains have reached puberty. From the abundance of new opportunities hemisphere begin to fuck each other, trying to reach anlim everything, not excluding driving.
They seek to dominate the flow in all aspects: the right to travel first, in the speed of movement, the ability to take the pole position at the traffic lights. They seem to themselves invulnerable to the laws of the state and physics. They find it difficult to understand that there are forces in the world that will make them even smaller. For example, the force of circumstances. Or floods.
Their arrogance is due to rudeness, too business spirit and the power that they have over "average" people. Not that they were rude on purpose, they just see themselves as legislators, impervious to the law itself. If the pros foul rationally supported by the experience of life, the literal based on the principle: they are uncomfortable, then usually not for me.
Teach them to someone else is useless and dangerous. Usually they teach life.
