Some time ago at night I met a large group of wild boars, traveling along the road near my home. They looked rather frightened and upset, and this may have resulted from the lights flashed on each side and the noises of cars rang out. In spite of everything, the wild boars managed to cross the road safely, but in this confusion they strongly damaged the fence to cross to the other side of the forest. I watched the whole incident as an observer and it looked quite strange. Well, because a group of wild boars passing through the zebra crossing isn't an everyday sight. But I think that, in that situation when wild boars appeared on the road, all the drivers should stop and let boars to go to the other side, but in this case not everyone did the same and the animals suffered a big shock. They could at least understand a little about the situation of these poor animals.
This time I watched video about the "signs of intelligence". One of examples was about taking risk in situation when traffic lights turns yellow - will you stop and wait for the next one or rush before red turns on? After driving simulation tests on people, it turns out that those who take greater risks are smarter than those who prefer to wait. And all this due to the fact that they have more developed neural highway system in their brains. However, the example of nail biting surprised me the most. Well, this habit doesn't quite show that you are nervous, but it helps fight boredom and soothe dissatisfaction. Don't hesitate to ask me any questions. She was babbling so I couldn't understand what she exactly said. We all know that our chief has special prerogatives. https://youtu.be/-iwmwdYhkoA
Make the description of the event shorter and focus on the reflection. Make it more developed, deeper, you can get further away from the very observation that was your starting point, e.g. reflect on people's attitude to animals or general habits of Polish drivers.
OdpowiedzUsuńWild boars crossing the road definitely isn't an often view, but I heard some stories about wild boars in Warsaw from my friends. I agree that drivers should stop and enable the animals save walk, they could cause an accident. But maybe they thought that if they stop, wild boars will attack their cars. When I was reading your post I thought about quite popular films with ducks crossing the road, but people often helped them stopping the cars.
