What is it called when you follow and learn from the behaviour of others?

Adapting the behaviour of others is called learning by imitation.

Other drivers and their behaviour shape you as a driver in the same way as your own experiences do. This is a subconscious learning process that can be both positive and negative.

When you are young, your parents and friends play a crucial role in this learning process. If you know that a person close to you is driving irresponsibly, it is important that you do not take on that person's behaviour.
