There is no good driver on the road.

Hi Danzy, Sounds like there are no road rules there or else there are no police to enforce those road rules. I can only suggest that you drive more slowly and count to ten when something scary/dangerous happens. Counting to ten will ease the pressure in your mind.

Very well said , there is no good driver on the road.It's all about self consciousness. since, you are married so must be matured enough by your age and more concerned about your spouse n children's safety while driving. Now this is the basic difference between you and the biker. But its better to be LATE than NEVER.Think had you not applied break at right moment then it would have been a different story altogether.Its always big vehicles who are blamed and action always taken against them, when there is an accident occurred on road. People must practice how to take a safe ride on road.

That is so true. No matter how good you are and how cautious you are, still accidents do happen. It's out of our control because the are so many reckless drivers out there. Worst is even if they are the one in the wrong place, yet when you accidentally hit them, still you are the one to be sent to jail. I always remind my husband to get patient with those people, especially those riding on motorcycles. Most of them are really reckless and keeps on overtaking even if they saw a vehicle coming. They will even madly look at you when you don't let them pass. Oh well, we just really need to be patient with them.

There are really crazy drivers. I nearly had a head on collision because the car opposite my direction overtook the vehicles in front of him and that crazy driver did not flash his signal light or even his headlight.

There are those drivers that are so careless and it's really a wonder on how they were able to get a driving license! these drivers should be reprimanded because most of them are not really worthy to seat behind the steering wheel.

The only thing that they need to know is having self-discipline. Otherwise, there are a lot of people will be in danger like vehicular accidents.

Firstly you are not doing yourself any good or any favour by getting your blood pressure up or boiling up your temper, yes I know there are plenty of idiots on the road, but by getting angry and annoyed you are not hurting them, you are hurting yourself. High blood pressure and unnecessary stress will cause you health problems. You hear of so much road rage now in todays society, what if you chased the guy and challenged him, and he pulled a knife out on you? It does happen believe me, your wife and baby would be without you. Sorry to sound harsh, whilst I hate crazy drivers and I get annoyed they don't get punished, I have to think of myself and my family.

I agree, no matter how you take all precuations and drive safely when others never care about their life- that's where accident happens. This happens with me many times- reckless motorcycle drivers. That is why I cannot blame those trucks/buses or private vehicle when they bump on to those motorcycles.

Good day to you, Well, as the many people says, everybody is accountable when you are driving a vehicle. Because, it doesn't matter how careful you are when you drive, others wont. And perhaps, this is the main reason why others says, when you are driving, you must know how to be offensive and be defensive driver. As these two attitudes are really a must when you are holding your steering wheels.

hi, yes,i will agree on that there is no good driver to a reckless and crazy drivers,because how even the driver is very soft and very careful in driving it will be regardless if they meet reckless and crazy driver,that is why good driver should always be aware to those kind of driver on the road.

Given the circumstances you described, there is nothing more you could have done. When you have a driver who is going to drive recklessly like that; who is going to user their smaller footprint on the road to make a risky move, the problems they could create is all on them. Driving with many other people on the road with different agendas, talking on their phones or reading or whatever else just makes the whole experience harder. You can't know what happened to that driver before you saw him, I know myself I get aggravated by people driving along not paying attention to what they are doing, driving slowly in the passing lane, all kinds of things. I recently witnessed a driver going slow in the fast lane, she wanted to move over because she was in the wrong lane. I was always taught that was my mistake, not anyone else's so I should proceed to the next intersection and turn around since it was my error. I guess that is not the case anymore as I see people stopping in a non-turning lane so they can move over into the lane they need. Anyway this driver saw an opening and accelerated so she could get into that slow lane ahead of the oncoming car, but she failed to realize the traffic in the lane was stopped, so she moved into the turn lane, and proceeded to run into the rear of a stopped car without even hitting her brakes! I think it would be better for everyone if people put down their phones and other distractions and paid attention to the task at hand, driving their motor vehicle.

A little advice for you always drive safely and be aware. Its good to keep reminding yourself that road is a dangerous place. For those reckless drivers i suggest you to pray to God to forgive them and to keep your heart away from anger whenever you face them.
