And I refer again to Situational Awareness.
When "playing in traffic", one must be hyper-aware of what the cars are doing. One must also be predictable. Remember: Gross Tonnage has right-of-way.
When driving, ALWAYS be alert for unconventional activities ahead. Approaching them slowly gives the driver more time to react, and possibly avoid having to "cooperate with authorities".
Kinda like Dick the Bruiser used to say about driving in the winter...
And remember, always yield the right of way...... to the bigger vehicle!!!
