My ISTP though, he whines like a granny even when it's good driving in good conditions. He's just a terrible back seat driver, which is just even more annoying since he hasn't even passed his test and yet he's telling an instructor what to do. But he's always uber safety conscious. We all call him Hard-hat or Goggles cos he's the only one in high school who always used his goggles during science (even the teacher didn't), and he's the only one I know who actually puts on the hard hat they give you when you go into this ruined castle near us, damn place has stood for 700 years and no stone has moved for 300 years, yet he's all "you never know!" and tutting at us for being "reckless" lol
Keep in mind that a large part of the SP "competence" in being "physically capable" comes from a sort of heightened alertness of their surroundings. I'm hyper-careful when I don't think I'm in control, and I don't mean mentally in control, but a sort of... risk judgment on what could happen. An intuitive feel for the situation, pardon the expression
It ends up meaning that I'm super-careful when I don't feel in tune with the environment around me, then doing absolutely crazy things when I am.
Oh, and any time that I sense people are not in that zone, I get terrified of their ability, no matter how unfair it is. Distracted people disturb me - that is, if they distract themselves and their driving changes, I *know* they aren't in the zone anymore.
