I’ve found that the principles which govern defensive driving also apply to life in general…
- Keep a good distance between you and the fella in front of you
- Always be aware, but be more aware when coming upon a crossroads
- A friendly wave to let someone in works much better than jumping forward to block the gap
- Don’t assume everyone is going to follow the rules of the road
- To the previous point – learn the rules of the road where you live
- Always keep an escape route handy; don’t let yourself get blocked in
- Don’t let technology distract you from the goal of making it there safely
- And, as always, look under your vehicles for penguins.
