An Accident Looking for a Place to Happen

I recall as a kid, ridding with my dad, someone in a car or on a motorcycle would blast by us, then ziggzag through the cars in front of us. After witnessing this my dad would say, “There goes an accident looking for a place to happen”. I always thought this was a funny thing to say until one day, after blasting by us, a motorcyclist actually located where he was going to have an accident. Right in front of us!

50 years later, it seems I witness this type of driver almost every day, an accident looking for a place to happen. With all the vehicles on the road today, the biggest challenge is to stay out of their way so when they find the place to have an accident, you’re not in the same spot.

And how do you stay out of their way? Pay attention to what is going on around you. Use your rear view mirrors where you can see them coming. As they come up behind you don’t make any quick changes in your direction. And then just let them go by but be prepared to stop in the event they clip someone ahead. As the great Mario Andretti said, “Whenever you’re aggressive, you’re at the edge of mistakes”. Don’t let them pull you into their mistake.
