The Chapter 1. An enemy - self - preservative instinct

The self-preservative instinct always causes us to operate automatically. We so are arranged, that we can not is interpreted to control its developments. For example, we can not restrain from blink, when something subitaneously occurs in a field of our vision. However developments of a self-preservative instinct (SPI) are not always useful, and often even are harmful. For example, the person can stiffen (one more SPI) or, vice-versa to begin to act inadequately. Once I became the witness of such situation. The racer has falled in the ninth turn of a route Riverside Raceway. In this place the turn contoured (i.e. his external edge is above internal, as on velotrek) and along an external edge there is a scooping by an altitude in 5 foots. The racer has falled absolutely near to an internal edge, in 10 foots from a lawn. Stand up, he has rushed through all route, on which one other racers were born. In that moment it seemed, that so will be more secure.

Devices of a self-preservation

Many devices and adaptations for rapid motions are made with allowance for SPI's. For example, the tissue on a palm of a raining glove is selected by stronger, as the person at dip exhibits arms involuntarily forward is classic SPI. ABS - not that diverse as the highly technological device assisting to overcome sharp and strong inhibition, one more SPI. More "sticking" trunks help to reduce consequences from a sharp slope of a motorcycle in turn or of too strong inhibition.

Errors of a self-preservation

Early or late, each of us SPI's result you in emergency. But most main problem that they are a straight line or indirect cause of ALL errors of driving. As a matter of fact, they blast driving. For bikers it specially correctly. SPI's completely change operating the driver. Let's consider, for example, such widespread SPI, as reset / attachment of gas in turn. My interrogation among 8000 drivers has shown, that anybody from them does not collect to throttle back in turn, and, moreover, all of them collect it to add. But SPI causes them to decide not. Throttling back in turn it SPI ¹ 1. The researches demonstrate, that this SPI happens always, as soon as push button "Panic" is pushed -in. The push button is depressed on many causes, for example:

  • " meal is too fast "
  • " has gone to turn too widely "
  • " too hardly has inclined "
  • " the road slippery " is similar

Irregularities of a cloth, other participants of movement too cause the driver to throttle back. The driver usually perceives, what it is not necessary to throttle back at once after he has made it (is familiar, whether not so?), that is one more evidence no control of a self-preservative instinct.

SPI's

The enemy is strong, but it is a little it:

  • Throttling back
  • Tightening a control surface
  • Narrowing a field of vision or cursorily of an eye
  • The attention is captured on one object
  • The taxiing in the party of object, on which one is captured attention
  • Absence of taxiing or inefficient (sluggish or too early) taxiing
  • Error of inhibition (gentle or strong inhibition)

Each of us collide with all by these SPI's. Whether we can control them? Let's take, for example, tightening of a control surface. You note, what have seized a control surface from all forces after it has taken place, or you do it designedly? Whether it was possible to you purposely to narrow down a field vision or to cause itself to focus attention on something one? Whether you put to yourselves by the purpose to disable a sprocket at inhibition?


Is able-bodied, that the enemy at last is called on a name. Probably now driver can not go on a causing for SPI's, and bar them in a blastemal, while they done not become the cause of troubles. Should be understand, as for me happen SPI's, and it after 13 years of driving. As if shirt from a rectangular approach traffic pattern they prolong to jump out for me because of a shoulder. Now you can struggle with them. DG
