03/25/00 2:19 PM:The final TEE card....I will miss It.
anyway, getting to the point...I think that this last TEE
card is very insightful and true. Everytime we see another
driver, we interact with them. As long as we are on the road
together, there will be some form of interaction. I have
seen at least one example of each type of driver on the
list, and I have been very critical of their driving. I did
not really take the time out to try and view things from
their perspective or have compassion for them until I tried
modifying my behavior throughout this class. I arrogantly
assumed that every one else should be at the same level of
driving as I was if they were on the road. Now, I try to be
a bit more compassionate and understanding and patient, and
make everyone else's driving experience (passengers and
other motorists) pleasant.
Reaction:
My goal here was to reaffirm the idea of an entire
community on the road. We should think of everyone else as
neighbors, with whom we would want to get along peaceably
with. I was thinking of how it would be a great thing if we
all could consider how the other drivers would feel if they
knew that they did not have to fight to change lanes or get
on the freeway. By alleviating any negative affective
aspects, then there would be no negative sensorimotor
outcomes.
