The Hidden Killers Most Drivers Ignore
Killer #1: Electric Scooters and Bicycles
They appear from nowhere. They don't follow traffic rules consistently. They can be in your blind spot in half a second. Assume every scooter in your peripheral vision is about to swerve into your path.
Killer #2: Slow Drivers on Highways
This one surprises people. "How can slow be dangerous?" On a highway, a car driving significantly below the flow of traffic creates a rolling obstacle. Cars pile up behind it, weave around it, brake unpredictably. A slow driver on a fast road causes more accidents than a fast one. Don't be that driver, and give them extra space when you encounter one.
