Anticipation is key. My dad was teaching that to me when I was 12 years old just riding along with him in the car. To this day I routinely anticipate people trying to change lanes or make a sudden stupid maneuver several moments before they attempt it. My wife used to never believe me, so I started calling them out loud in front of her. She believes me now lol
I've been in three accidents in my 18 years of driving (and it's been 10 years since the last one). Two were witnessed by police officers confirming it was not my fault, and the third was due to a freak blown tire that someone had while entering the highway. My wife hates my occasional aggressive driving style, but she at least acknowledges that I must be doing something right
