What can be a result of overconfidence while riding?

Overconfidence while riding can often lead to aggressive riding behaviors. When a rider feels overly confident, they may underestimate risks or overestimate their own skills, prompting them to take unnecessary chances on the road. This aggressive riding can manifest in various forms such as speeding, tailgating, weaving in and out of traffic, or making sudden lane changes without proper signaling.

These behaviors not only increase the risk of an accident but can also lead to poor decision-making, where the rider might ignore essential safety precautions or fail to respond appropriately to hazards. In contrast to smoother riding, increased caution, or a stronger focus on safety, overconfidence typically skews a rider's perspective, leading to a dangerous mindset on the road.
