minus-squareSuperApples@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16arrow-down6·1 year agoWhen I started driving again recently after a 20 year hiatus I was getting upset when I made mistakes; running stop signs, forgetting indicators, etc. But then I realised all I was doing was making it hard to concentrate, which could lead to more errors, maybe even a fatal crash. I quickly adopted this “Oops that was illegal but it’s fine” attitude. Notice my mistake, and move on.

minus-squareSuperApples@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·1 year agoI already had the motivation to drive correctly, getting upset wouldn’t improve that motivation, just make driving more difficult. I pride myself on being a safe and courteous driver. We all make mistakes, especially when learning.
