Outline the dangers of get-home-itis.

Get-home-itis is a mindset that you will make it to your destination regardless of what lies in the way. It may be that you are determined to make it home for dinner, or want to impress someone that you can make your destination regardless of the conditions en-route or at the destination. This is an extremely dangerous mindset to have, and will only end badly.
