How to collapse Ribbons bar when page is loaded?

Question

When user click on an item display view (DispForm.aspx) the "View" ribbon is always expanded by default. It is annoying sometimes. How can I to make it collapse (not hide) by default? When user need the ribbon buttons he can click the "View" link at top to expand it.

By using the hints Anders provided and the reference here. I can make it work with below script. Simply put it into a Script Editor Webpart for the page you need it.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">       
function DoSomethingWithRibbon() {         
// Gets a reference to a CUI.Ribbon object (CUI.js)         
var ribbon = SP.Ribbon.PageManager.get_instance().get_ribbon();          
// Show me which tab is selected - will show         
// 'Ribbon.Read' if the Browse tab is selected.         
//alert(ribbon.get_selectedTabId());
SelectRibbonTab("Ribbon.Read", true);
}       
// Note: 'SOD' is an abbreviation for "Script on Demand"      
SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function() {          
var pm = SP.Ribbon.PageManager.get_instance();          
pm.add_ribbonInited(function() {            
DoSomethingWithRibbon();         
});          
var ribbon = null;         
try         {            
    ribbon = pm.get_ribbon();         
}         catch (e) { }          
if (!ribbon) {            
    if (typeof(_ribbonStartInit) == "function")               
        _ribbonStartInit(_ribbon.initialTabId, false, null);         
    }         
    else {            
        DoSomethingWithRibbon();         
    }      
    },      
    "sp.ribbon.js");   
</script>

You could do it with javascript I guess, the name of View is Ribbon.Read, so this should work:

 SelectRibbonTab('Ribbon.Read', true);
