The neuropsychologist listed the psychotypes of drivers who violate

Neuropsychologist Svetlana Pulya spoke about the most common types of driving behavior.

In an interview with Auto Mail on Monday, November 24, the specialist noted that when a person gets behind the wheel, the brain activates a special mode of behavior, and each driver unwittingly turns into a hero of his own "road scenario."

"Crawling in the left lane" is, according to the expert, not about slowness, but about increased anxiety.: speed is perceived as a threat, so the driver strives to control the situation as much as possible. The "tinted ninja" most often seeks a sense of personal space and security, creating a kind of protective cocoon around himself. "DJ on wheels" uses loud music as an incentive against monotony, but thereby risks drowning out important sound signals of the road.

The "Formula 1 pilot" or "undercutter" acts under the influence of adrenaline and the need for control: risky maneuvers give the brain a feeling of quick victory. A "telepathic psychologist" who avoids turn signals lives by the illusion that his intentions are obvious to others, underestimating the chaotic nature of the road environment. The "Economy Strategist" enjoys not speed, but fuel economy, turning driving into a game against the gas tank, and the "Nervous Kettle" reacts to traffic jams with flashes of irritation — this is a way to regain a sense of control in a stressful situation.

The "beginner perfectionist" is overloaded with information: his brain has not yet brought his skills to automatism, so every trip turns into an exam. The most dangerous type is the "multitasking Jupiter", a smartphone driver who is confident that he is able to simultaneously scroll through the tape and follow the road, although in fact the brain only constantly switches and creates "blind" gaps.

The psychologist emphasized that each person may show traits of different psychotypes on different days, and this is not a diagnosis, but a clue. Understanding your reactions helps to make trips calmer and safer, because the best driver is not the one who is the fastest, but the one who arrives in a good mood.

The Public Chamber complained about the "sports equipment" and SIMs

In July, psychologist Sergey Lang explained the causes of conflicts on the road. The specialist noted that a person who is negative in the morning will see problems in everything around him. According to him, if a person experiences internal tension himself, it will seem to him that everyone around him is behaving irritatingly.
