Index.)

ready for anything.” On city streets,

rural roads, or freeways, it means

“always expect the unexpected.

Assume that pedestrians or other drivers

are going to be careless and make

mistakes. Anticipate what they might

do.

Be ready for their mistakes.

Expect other drivers to run stop signs

when you are on a through street. Be

ready

to

brake if necessary as you go

through intersections. You may not have
