I'm having a mental blank... Or possibly I just invented a word that doesn't exist once, and that's why I can't remember it now.

What's the term for when someone has to come to grips with something happening that is the exact opposite to their beliefs?

For example, i I think all dual cab 4x4s are driven by wankers... But then one day, the driver of a dual cab does something courteous and I have to ??? the idea that a dual cab driver could be ok AND dual cab driver.

Consolidate? Reconcile?

I think you're close and the word you might be looking for is "re conciliate".

Now, I know you're on the road heaps and you see certain things all the time. I believe that there is a certain stigma attached to tradie utes in general. Now, I am in no way defending so many of them, no way. However, I firmly believe that they tend to stand out.

Over the next few weeks keep on the lookout for bad drivers of say, Japanese four door cars. I sincerely believe that you will witness similar behaviour.

And don't get me started on "white van man".
