I think traffic density plays a part, too.
As does the "I must be there *now*" attitude, I'll grant you.
Oh, *CRAP*!!! I'm about to miss my exit!!! (Swerve quickly!!! Everyone
else is smart enough to get out of my way!!!) Or maybe not, ... Crap!!!
I didn't miss my exit, but this crunch is certainly going to take longer
than if I had just missed this exit and used the next exit to correct it.
Very few come to this conclusion even *after* an accident. If only we
could get people to realize this *BEFORE* an accident.
Which reminds me of my own observation* of the difference between women
and men drivers:
Women expect everyone else is watching them. They'll plow right into you
without ever having seen you.
Men will spot you from a distance, line you up with the hood ornament,
and make a strafing pass.
