I think "perception" and "recognition" are two different things. In your Police officer example, your perception of the Cop's motivations could vary, but staying to get the ticket or driving off is an issue of recognition of the officer's authority, not the perception of it.
What I was getting at in my post is that since the street is not a track environment, any actual performance increase is trumped by a perceived performance increase since there is no method of actual measurement. Driving on the street is all enjoyment factor.
Put differently, since there is no win or lose in day to day driving, an increase in perceived performance with no acual increase in performance is better than an actual increase in performance that is not at all preceived.
