I would like to think I am a reasonably good driver. Not an expert by any means but am courteous and always looking way ahead to see whats happening.
For example, if i am passing a car on the dual and he is rapidly approaching a much slower car, I will speed up so he can get out without having to brake.
And on a roundabout, I will not drive on the door handles, going a bit slower means people at the next junction onto the roundabout have a chance to go.
Or if I am in a line of traffic (mostly in a town) and there is a car going the other way waiting to turn right with a huge line behind them, I will slow down, not stop, just slow down enough for them to go and let everyone get on their way.
Things like this to me are just common sense but I see so many people on the roads who cannot see past their own bonnet and fail to plan for what might happen!
What sort of things do you find yourself doing that you have not seen many, or anyone else doing?
*EDIT* Forgot to add the headlight debacle! Was driving today at sunset and visibility was poor due to wet roads, low sun, poor light and the amount of nuggets with no lights on was incredible!
