Optimism bias and illusion of control lead to risky driving behavior
The study looked at how people's thinking biases affect their risky driving behavior. They found that being overly optimistic about driving safety can lead to less risky behavior, while feeling like you have more control over driving can lead to riskier behavior. Also, how risky people think driving is can affect how they actually drive. Overall, the way people think about driving can influence how safely they drive on the road.
