Mine was from my mother: “Never cry for a man. He’ll never cry for you.”

    Good advice, and by extension also the fundamental of defensive driving - assume every other driver on the road is crazy or incompetent.

    • Just because someone is signalling to turn, it doesn’t mean they will
    • Just because someone isn’t signalling to turn, it doesn’t mean they won’t
    • Assume people will run red lights
    • Assume people will jump on the brakes for no reason
    • Assume anyone will change lanes at any time without even looking

    I’m sure my driving got a lot safer from thinking like that
