Why should you never assume another driver will yield, stay in lane, or follow the rules?
- A.Most drivers intend to break the law
- B.Signals are legally meaningless
- C.It is required to honk at every intersection
- D.Drivers make mistakes, get distracted, and misjudge, so your safety plan must allow for their errors
Correct answer
D. Drivers make mistakes, get distracted, and misjudge, so your safety plan must allow for their errors
Why
Defensive driving means your plan still works when someone else does the wrong thing. Assuming right-of-way instead of verifying it is how many intersection crashes happen.
