If you ever got the opportunity to drive a vehicle, or even learn how to drive one, I am pretty sure you would have heard some version of "Be wary of how others drive" a million times. Or one pet dialogue which seems pretty famous, atleast in my area, "You might be driving right, but you don't know of the other person".
It is funny, don't you think ? You are the person behind the wheel. You are managing that 'perfect co-ordination' between the clutch, brake and accelerator. You are the person deciding which gear to shift to when, when to be at neutral and when to simply set your engine to life. And yet. You do not only need to focus on what YOU are doing, but also on what others are doing, for your sake !
Like really ?! Nor do you take the responsibility of all those sitting in the vehicle with you, but to ensure their (and your) utmost safety you NEED to be careful of how others drive. It is not sufficient if you have mastered the art of balancing the three ABCs (as I was recently told, Accelerator, Brake, Clutch, in that order o.O), you also need to master the art of magically knowing that there will be some idiot in a completely opposite lane wanting to come right infront of you just to back to where he came from.
In a general way, all those people who believe "live and let live", I really don't understand how that works. We live in a society where we are supposed to be 'social animals'. So how does one manage to live on their own without really caring how the other person is living their life is something I would love to know. I don't know, even if you do try to do so follow the 'live and let live' funda, I don't know for how long would someone be able to survive on that. It's more of ignorance that I am talking about right now. A complete state of ignorance where we just don't care of what the other person is doing. That's the kind of state that I have in mind.
As easy as it may be to live like that, it's almost impossible.
As easy as it may be to drive like that, it's extremely difficult.
Be careful of how others drive!
