Can informal learning to drive, such as observing other drivers, negatively impact other forms of learning?

Why this is the correct answer

The DGT curriculum identifies three types of learning related to driving: 1. **Formal learning**: Structured education at a driving school (autoescuela), with qualified instructors and an official syllabus. 2. **Non-formal learning**: Organised activities outside the formal system, such as road safety courses, workshops, or advanced driving programmes. 3. **Informal learning**: Unstructured learning acquired through daily life, such as observing how family members or friends drive, or absorbing attitudes about driving from media or social environment. Informal learning often happens unconsciously and can introduce bad habits, incorrect beliefs, or risky attitudes (e.g., thinking that speeding is normal because you saw others do it). These ingrained habits can then negatively affect both formal learning (making it harder to accept correct techniques taught at the driving school) and non-formal learning (making you resistant to road safety messages). That is why option A is correct: informal learning can negatively impact both formal and non-formal learning.
