You’re only ever as good a driver as your last time on the roads. This is important to remember, and it’s also a good maxim to carry as you age, because as we get older our reflexes begin to slow and our bad habits begin to express themselves more readily.
This isn’t to deride your driving performance, of course, we’re sure you’re more than capable. But it’s also good to hold ourselves to account when we can, because we are the only variable we have control over on the roads.
It’s especially important for new drivers to learn this, because taking anything for granted while driving can, unfortunately, lead us to miss essential observational cues that may result in accidents. While this lawyer in Mcallen, Texas can help you format the best defense if the issue wasn’t your fault, it’s true to say that preparing ourselves for each drive is a good way to avoid unfortunate circumstances.
So – why is it best to take nothing for granted on the roads? Let’s consider that below:
Don’t Trust In Other Drivers
Other drivers may seem quite stable and safe in front of you, but you can never tell what might happen in someone elses’ car, or to it. For instance, the person you’ve been behind for forty miles on the freeway may seem sensible and capable of driving well, but what if they suffer a medical emergency, or miss a cue in front of them? Even if you would respect the person behind the wheel, we can never truly predict how they’re going to behave now. This is important to remember, and it will help you avoid becoming complacent.
Never Assume They’re Going To Let You Out
If you generally let people out of their turns, or allow people to join the queue, or slow down when approaching a junction, not everyone will. We can never assume others have the same values as you, or won’t try to run that red light, or might not try to weave between your vehicles on a motorcycle. The more you can understand that, the more become a patient driver, not for the benefit of others, but to protect yourself and everyone else in your car.
Assume Anything Can Happen
The roads are well-formatted for the most part, and have consistent markings in line with competent traffic codes. But the truth is that roads are large outdoor constructions with many hunks of two-tonne (or more) metal riding around at high speeds. Anything can happen, be that a deer jumping out into the road, a teenager not looking correctly when trying to cross, someone behind you who thinks overtaking on a hill is a good idea, or perhaps your own vehicle, operational until now, might blow a tire. Assuming anything can happen in that way will help you only plan to drive when you’re well rested and observant, and you’ll never over-distract yourself with music that may be too loud, or allowing your friends free reign in your vehicle with no ground rules.
With this advice, we hope you can avoid taking anything for granted on the roads.
