Drivers tend to think of a superlative scenario when they are on the road. They imagine that they will reach their destination without any hiccups and that other drivers will not make any mistakes.
If you want to become a safer driver, you should think the opposite of this. It is much better to get prepared for any case scenario when driving. Always assume that other drivers on the road are going to make mistakes and put you in danger. When you drive with this mindset, you can better anticipate bad moves from other drivers on the road because you are ready for them. You expect a sudden lane change or a violent slam on brakes. It is this anticipation that will allow you to be a much safer driver and may prevent incidents while on the road.
Always expect mistakes from other drivers and you will become much safer when on the road! Remember that your vehicle’s maintenance plays a large role in how your vehicle reacts in these abrupt situations.
