Ever notice how drivers zoom past parked cars, pedestrians, or anything blocking their view without a second thought? It’s a classic example of pack mentality. The herd assumes nothing is there, so they speed through without slowing down or changing lanes. But what happens when the unexpected appears? A pedestrian steps out, a cyclist emerges, or a car door swings open—it’s too late to react.
The defensive approach is simple: change lanes, slow down, or use your horn to signal your presence. But pack mentality discourages this. The flow keeps moving, so drivers feel pressured to follow suit, even if it means ignoring potential risks. It’s a dangerous habit that prioritizes speed over safety.
