Distrusting the behaviour of other road users and adapting your speed to the circumstances at the time.
Anticipation is vital for preventing accidents, not only those caused by our own errors but also those caused by other road users. Anticipating means: • Predicting other people’s movements in order to anticipate unexpected situations. • Distrusting other road users, assuming that they may make a mistake or carry out an unexpected manoeuvre. • Adapting our driving to the traffic, road and driver conditions. • Making ourselves visible by signalling all manoeuvres and avoiding surprising or frightening others.
