I must have a vivid imagination! Able to create analogies!

"Quite simply - in a queue of traffic the cars should be like wagons
on a train. They close up when stationery and spread out when moving
-"

And they do of course.

"But above all stay in the same order unless exceptional
circumstances."

Perfectly valid observation.

I don't think that analogy is particularly vivid, especially to a
right brainer *with* a typical imagination. ;-)

To a left brainer / troll / bot it isn't what they are able to see so
(of course) they will be unwilling to 'go along with', let alone
accept / understand.

Maybe a better description than left brainer (someone who is
LBDominant) is 'Cold and prickly', as opposed to someone who is a
right brainer (RBDominant) who could be described as 'warm and fuzzy'.

Glass half empty over half full etc.

Be as cold and prickly as some here in a pub to a stranger (round here
anyway) and you would likely wake up in an ambulance. ;-)

The problem ITRW is that people feel enclosed / isolated in their
vehicles in a way they might not be unless in a large group in any
other public place and so can (and do) act differently than they might
otherwise.

Innocent mistakes are seen (especially by the left brainers) as a
direct act against them and so the red mist starts to rise and then
anyone can get caught up in how they react next.

Round here there is a bit of road where the parked cars, always along
one side are parking illegally (because they reduce the road to less
than two car widths) but because paring it tight round there, no one
says / does anything about it (It really should have double yellows
both sides but it actually adds a form of chicane, slowing / deterring
the rat runners so not a bad thing).

Now, legally, anyone approaching on the same side of the road as the
parked cars should give way (the obstruction on their side) but it's
easier for cars coming from the other direction to give way, even
though they have right of way.

Now, anyone who knows the area knows how this works but if they don't,
it can (and sometimes does) end in all sorts of stand offs.

It works best, most efficiently when people do what works the easiest
for *all parties*, even though it might mean giving your right of way
away, being proactive, kind and considerate.
