“He is wrong. I am right.
He was supposed to stop. It’s my right of way.”
These are the words behind many crashes on our roads daily.
Constant fights of who is wrong and who is right lead to many car accidents, just like drinking and driving.
We have seen a lot of people getting out their cars screaming at each other about who is right and who is wrong.
When the next driver is doing something wrong, why do you have to fight with them?
If it’s your right of way and the next driver comes towards you, why be stubborn and risk your life in the name of being right?
Just stop, let them pass and safely continue with your trip.
Rather be safe than right, because most of those who focused and persisted on being correct end up in hospital injured or worse, dead.
The festive season is here. It’s the season characterised by a lot of road accidents. Do not be part of the statistics.
