Jakarta –
Toyota Fortuner and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport car drivers are often stigmatized as arrogant by the public and drivers on the road. However, it needs to be emphasized that not all Fortuner or Pajero drivers are arrogant.
However, there are still a number of drivers who make the image of this SUV bad. In fact, it is quite common for Pajero and Fortuner drivers to make people anxious on the roads, and the videos are often circulating on social media.
So, why are Toyota Fortuner and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport drivers often labeled arrogant? Check out the possible reasons below.
Reasons Why Fortuner-Pajero Drivers Are Often Labeled Arrogant
Sony Susmana as Director of Training Safety Defensive Consultant Indonesia (SDCI) revealed that there are certain types of vehicles that can be used by drivers but do not suit their function.
Furthermore, to be arrogant on the road, Sony said one of them is that you need a vehicle that looks big, tall and strong.
“Even color can have an influence too. So other drivers are lazy to get close to look for problems, not shrink,” said Sony to detikcom some time ago.
Then, the vehicle’s character, color and modifications can also reflect its owner. Then there are a number of vehicle characteristics that can create an arrogant attitude in the driver.
“With a tall shape, it will appear to be more capable of reaching everything, so you will feel like you have an advantage over other vehicles. With a large shape, the driver feels that they have to get priority over others. With a sturdy shape, it will make the driver more secure when they have to make physical contact,” he said.
“That’s why small cars are rarely arrogant,” continued Sony.
Tips for Not Being Emotional and Arrogant When Driving
Driving a car or motorbike requires a lot of concentration and patience. Because, you will meet many other drivers on the road. If you cannot control your emotions, it could cause an accident that could result in loss of life.
For this reason, detikers need to train themselves so that they don’t get easily provoked by emotions or act arrogantly, as if you were the ruler of the streets. Reported by the First Time Driver website, here are tips for not being emotional and arrogant when driving.
1. Take a Deep Breath
When you’re stuck in traffic and it stresses you out, try to take a deep breath, then exhale slowly. This is done so that detikers remain calm and focused, then the feeling of irritation slowly begins to disappear.
2. Take a short break
Often emotions arise because you are too tired from driving. To overcome this, try to take a short break in the rest area.
Apart from making your mind calmer, this method can help you focus on driving again. Apart from that, rest can also ward off drowsiness when traveling long distances.
3. Listen to calm music
When stuck in traffic jams, it sometimes makes drivers feel tired, this often makes them easily provoked by emotions. So, to prevent emotions from running high, try listening to some calming songs.
Before driving, you can save a playlist of calm songs, for example jazz or lo-fi hip-hop. As a reminder, do not listen to music at high volume because it can interfere with driving concentration.
4. Drive slowly
At one time or another, detikers must have driven in a hurry, which forced you to speed on the highway. This method is clearly wrong because it can endanger other drivers.
Apart from that, driving in a hurry makes you feel stressed and easily emotional. This often makes drivers arrogant and unwilling to yield to other drivers.
It’s best to drive slowly and safely so as not to endanger yourself or others. If you really have to travel a long way, try to leave early to avoid getting stuck in traffic, so you can arrive at your destination on time.
This is an explanation of why Toyota Fortuner and Mitsubishi Pajero drivers are often labeled as arrogant on the road. So, stay careful on the road and don’t act arrogantly towards fellow drivers.
