ANTICIPATE
Anticipate that a car will come out of the side street, that the
other driver will run the red light, that a child will run out from
between parked cars or after that ball, that the door to the
parked car you are going to pass will open, that you will sud
denly be cut ofif by adjacent vehicles—anticipate wrong or illegal
moves by others and be prepared for them.
“Mastery in the art of safe driving is never fully achieved
until the driver becomes skilled in anticipating what other
drivers on the road might do or intend to do.” To operate a
motor vehicle safely, a driver must know what is going on all
around him. Always expect the car ahead will stop suddenly.
Keep a minimum stopping distance betweeen you and the car
ahead of at least one car length for each ten miles per hour of
your car’s speed. This allows for a “reserve distance” which can
be useful to you. Keep a frequent check on following traffic.
Always allow for a margin of safety when passing other vehicles.
Watch up ahead for possible accident situations. Be in a position
to avoid them. Be wary of oncoming traffic, approach every
intersection, pedestrian or bicyclist with suspicion, anticipate
any one of many surprise situations.
