Ever wondered why perfectly nice people turn into absolute nightmares the second they start driving? In this episode, I'm diving into a fascinating new Spanish study by the Línea Directa Foundation that reveals a shocking 75% of drivers take on a negative 'alter ego' behind the wheel. We explore the psychological phenomena of deindividuation and optimism bias, looking at why people treat roundabouts like a racetrack but would never push past someone in a supermarket queue. As young drivers, we have the power to lead by example, change this culture, and prove that road safety is really about emotional intelligence.

Big changes are heading our way if you're a young driver! 🚗 In my latest update, I’m breaking down the massive shifts happening across the UK and Spain for teenage motorists.
