I think it makes a lot of sense.

When I drive I'm always looking around and making moves based on the cars around me. Who hasn't picked off a car targeted ahead, or keep an a-hole driver pinned in when you have the chance.

You can especially tell the dynamics with me when you pass and look through my window. Clearly you'll see my head bob in rhythm to the other drivers around me, unless I'm making a bold move at which point it will be faster.

>>>For those not familiar with Kerry, he is the founder of The Thomas Herding Technique (THT), author of Horse Profiling: The Secret to Motivating Equine Athletes, and a pioneering researcher in the fields of equine communication and herd dynamics, among other things. I am THT's director of equine services. Our company specializes in the study of herd motion (aka a horse race), the minds and emotions of horses, and behavioral genetics.<<<

Then an entire article about how some horses are naturally closers, while other prefer to press or run on the front. And some horses need blinkers to stay focused.

If he gets paid for this he's a friggin' genius
