Anticipation is a crucial part of driving.
With good anticipation you can avoid getting into potentially dangerous situations, because you can adjust your driving to compensate for another drivers actions which you have anticipated.
An example is………… why is the oncoming car close to the centre of the road, yet not indicating right. The chances are he has forgotten to signal, or there is a fault on his indicators. You anticipate that he may turn across you and you adjust your speed accordingly.
When the car sweeps across the road in front of you, it doesn’t catch you unawares and once more you have kept yourself, and others, safe.
Another great result!
