A very informative article that reinforces common sense! Thanks for sharing it
I believe there is/are no thumb rule/rules that hold true in 100% situations and scenarios. There are far too many permutations and combinations.
At the end of the day it's about -
1. Being a mature and responsible individual who always stays within the limits and rules defined by authorities. They are there for a reason you know.
2. Being accommodating and sensitive to the needs/situations of others (read trucks, taxis, cabbies who knows the condition of the vehicle they are driving, the stress they are under, etc.).
3. Always always always leave margin for error, be it your error or someone else's.
4. Keep a relaxed mind at all times, no matter what and avoid the urge of confrontations with fellow drivers/vehicles.
5. Let aggressive drivers pass., there is no sense irritating them by blocking them or racing with them.
Hopefully they will learn their lesson in a not-so-harsh-way someday-somewhere. If not, then very unfortunately, they get what they asked for.
In my view, these things surely help in minimizing the risk of accidents.
There is a lot of madness and chaos on the roads, it's our choice to add to it or not.
Now I shall go and try to follow my own rules which is much easier said than done
