We are all just 1 second away from a tragedy.
When I was learning how to drive a car my instructor told me: see the light turned green, hold on, wait for an idiot, then wait for a taxi cab, then go slowly.

Sometimes it feels like I drive like the stereotypical granny, but this has saved my bacon several times in the past two decades.
