Could motorway boredom be reduced by making the distance between lines, lights and cat's eyes random rather than a fixed value?


Interesting idea, but I'd be worried that speed or distance judgements might be affected. We'd need careful tests.

Actually if people are bored on motorways then I think one or more of the following applies:

- They aren't observing or concentrating properly (because, actually, I think there's enough going on.)

- Speeds are below the optimal range (at least for the bored individual)

- They might be driving too close to other vehicles and robbing themselves of good vision ahead. (Imagine tailgating a truck - you can't see anything.)
