My main driving mantra is: "Be as predictable as you can, but assume everyone is trying to kill you."

My main driving mantra is:
"Be as predictable as you can, but assume everyone is trying to kill you."
- scotty79 3y agoSee all. Assume you are invisible. Occasionally you will be.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoIf you really assumed everyone is trying to kill you, you should really not go outside at all. Or if you see a car nearby, immediately swerve. You should probably never stop, at lights for example.
- outside1234 3y agoProbably a better way of saying what they probably meant is "Always drive defensively"

- jakderrida 3y agoFine. They're trying to kill you, but they also want to frame it as a suicide. Does that cover all bases?
- mewpmewp2 3y agoThat's too much in the other direction. To protect against that you would just have to wear a seatbelt and not go over certain speed, and not swerve into incoming traffic. If they wanted to suicide you, you would need to go faster to be able to do that without seatbelt and/or intentionally break some sort of laws/rules. I think best to me is to assume other drivers are not paying a lot of attention unless there are obvious hints that they are and if you don't have visibility somewhere, assume that something could be there.
