Overconfidence is a huge problem, but man so is under confidence. People who freeze up will cause bad things.
The best advice I was ever given related to driving was "never trust the other driver is going to do the 'right' thing"
Always be ready for the guy next to you to be a complete noobie moron
I always assume that all other drivers are dangerous morons that are trying to kill me. I know that's not true for most people but it only takes one.
Same. except it was phrased "it's not you that you have to worry about. It's the other person."
That's the basis of "defensive driving."
My underconfidence tells me I need to be in the right lane 2 miles away and if I'm not in the right lane when my turn is coming up I'm looking at a hopefully short drive to the next offramp.
You're my wife. And worse, she didn't start driving until she was 50. One thing I figured out, she thinks a mile is about a kilometer. So when the sign says, "1 Mile", she thinks it's close.
That's still less than a minute at highway speed, and if the right lane is clogged you'll have to shop for a gap. 1 mile is a perfectly fine distance to get ready to exit IMO.
A friend of mine is like “our exit is in 10 miles, so you should probably move over all 5 lanes right now”
My girlfriend does this the same way. She will get over 3 miles in advance and do so hurriedly.
