I get it now, you do not believe it is possible to anticipate. -- MrBitsy

In the scenario you described it was obvious to me the driver may go right. You never considered the possibility, so you missed vital clues and didn't use them to anticipate. Even though the other driver did go right, you still argue all the signs were for him to go left. -- MrBitsy

The driver you are just about to pass on a clear motorway may have a heart attack and swerve into your path. You may be sitting at traffic lights and get hit from behind. As I said many posts ago, driving can be dangerous. In the scenario you described, it was bleeding obvious the car ahead may go right given the clues he was sending out. -- MrBitsy |
