Attention and mindfulness
05/26/2022
Anyone who spends a lot of time on the road is sometimes surprised at how inattentive people are. Everyone is primarily looking out for themselves and doesn't even consider what effects their own actions could have on the traffic behind them. Sneaking across the junction on the green? Never mind, you've crossed the junction and the cars behind you will have to wait for the next green light. Leaving huge gaps open in city traffic? Yes, you have to write a text message or search for the next radio station at the same time. There are many examples.
Modern cars are taking over more and more driving functions and their drivers are becoming increasingly distracted. Naturally, they lack the presence of mind to keep the traffic flowing or to help other road users.
An old car is much better at teaching attentive and careful driving. After all, the absence of accidents also depends on this, and an old car always needs to be driven with attention and concentration anyway, so there is no time left for texting and the like. And you also watch the traffic much more closely due to reduced passive safety and lower braking performance. Anyone who has driven a classic car for a while will also drive more attentively in a modern car, won't they?
