Being Aware

When I was first learning to drive, my dad gave me one of the best pieces of advice ever.

Always be aware of the cars around you—where they are, and what they're doing.

Those aren't the exact words, but that's the idea.

In dense traffic, by the way, you have to generalize a little. You can't be aware of what every car is doing, but you can still have a mental model that describes the relevant aspects of the situation.
