You are as you Drive

Driving is also about our behavior at a shared space. It revel the individual state of mind and also the overall state of the society. We individually contribute in creating the local and national road behavior pattern. The overall pattern affects us in our behavior on and off the road. Possibly this the most significant way the place changes its citizen.


We exhibit our personality type clearly when we drive. Cautious or risk taking, considerate or show off, mannered or angry, helpful or selfish, timid or socially arrived, notice me or invisible, in hurry or satisfied, new comer or well rooted.


The level of effective policing and corruption is also a big driver of how we drive. Does a country with low corruption index will have better road behavior? Does GDP influence how we use shared spaces?


Will we be able read a collective state of mind observing the traffic pattern at the signal? Will it revel latent need and desire? Is this a design research tool?
