  • Defensive driving 6 Jul 2004 (Forum)
    This has got me to thinking: The reason I wasn't in a crash is because I was driving defensively, keeping extra space between me and other vehicles in case one of them did something idiotic.

If I didn't I reckon I'd be in at least one crash (albeit minor ones) a week. people cut corners, cross white lines, wander from lane to lane, all sorts.
