dc.description.abstract | This paper identifies destiny-drivers, casual-cautious drivers, and socialoccasion drivers, as the primary participations in the driving environment, and argues that accidents occur when there is a breakdown in establishing joint-action" among and between these drivers. Leftlaners are also discussed within the context of the above designated drivers, and another potentially dangerous driver; the meditator, is introduced. The meditator is one who, for a variety of reasons, has some unresolved issue in contemplation. Other drivers emerging in the driving environment are dining-room, powder-room, library, and indicator drivers. | |
