When I was learning to drive, I asked my mum to practice with me between lessons.
My mum is a very cautious driver with a high regard for motoring safety.
As a result, the prospect of giving me complete control of a moving vehicle made her incredibly anxious.
When I first started driving with my mum, I was initially quite calm.
However, my mum’s anxiety was so high in relation to mine that it began to diffuse along a concentration gradient until we infused with the same sense of impending doom.
