When a police car or ambulance turns on its lights, the "Halo Effect" takes over. Traffic doesn't just move over; it becomes hyper-coordinated for a brief moment. Drivers become more attentive, their speeds standardize, and their spatial awareness peaks. This proves that humans can be excellent, focused drivers when the stakes are visible. The challenge for safety advocates is how to maintain that level of "emergency-grade" focus during the mundane, 20-minute drive to the grocery store.
