Of course, but predictable driving is a defined term, ask any driving instructor, or educator, they will all be able to list you what is considered to be predictable driving
>risk assessments, reaction times and other factors
None of this changes the fact that when you turn on your right turning signal, people are gonna assume you're gonna be steering to the right, or when your brake lights turn on, it means your car is slowing down

so exhibit B may have already been in this situation before, and hence their 'prediction' would be more in line with what may be perceived as correct, on the other hand person A may have never experienced anything like this, potentially affecting the way they approach thw problem. That's just one example of predictability, but you can see how the same definition can apply to various varying concepts.

no, look, some people interpret the world differently, they have different risk assessments, reaction times and other factors which all come into play, potentially affecting their JUDGEMENT or the way they play out scenarios in their head. E.g. person A might see doing a specific thing safer as that's what feels right in this scenario, but person B might feel that might not have been the best thing to do, not to mention previous experiences which taught them to do better

Yeah, but not when you're thought what some phrases mean exactly, what is the case here

yeah, you can argue all you want but we both know that language can be quite a subjective experience, everyone expresses themselves differently, have a nice night/day

You're saying the post uses wrong wording, i'm saying it uses correct wording, and give a reason why
>Useless post, that's all
Yeah, i can agree with this since it's literally thebfirst thing you're thought in a driving school anyways, redundant at best

I am sorry, I no longer care for this discussion as it is futile. I feel like you read my words but interpret them your way. Useless post, that's all

>Yes, but that was not what the post originally said
It literally says "preditable driving"
>good luck explaining 'predictably' to every single individual
They were thought about it in driving school, the wors themselves are there just to remind them of it
>language is so open to interpretation
You're getting philosophicall here, thr point of the post is that they use exact same terminology used in driving schools so people remember it as they were thought when they drove the first time
>What you might do in a situation might not be what someone else would.
Of course not, and i don't expect it, i just let people know what i'm doing so they know what i'm about to do, so they expect it
>Maybe better phrasing for this post would be drive safely, according to the law?
It's not the same thing though, being safe doesn't mean you're predictable, predictability does make you safer, also, this post uses the standard driving school language everyone goes through when learning how to drive, and i've heard the exact same wording in 6 languages, always using whatever word it is for predictable, this is the best phrasing for what the post is trying to say becsuse everyone is familiar with the term, and knows exactly what it means, those who don't, either didn't go to driving school, or have been driving for 20 years already anyways so it wouldn't matter what you told them, they're still gonna keep driving as they've been driving already

Leave plenty of breaking distance and distance from other vehicles next to you.

Which kind of stress? if you're burned out, one thing might help more than if you're anxious about medical or job stuff.

Erm, no. Not in the slightest. Gave great advice. Not sure why you'd assume anything different.

What they're saying is "A good driver does this specifically."
Yes, some people are going to be slower to learn how to stay in the lines and such, but if someone can't do things like "Don't make sudden movements," or "Give warning before you change lanes," maybe they shouldn't be driving.

This is a reworked repost from less than five hours ago.
And, last week, the week before, last month, the month before, last year, ad nauseam.
Copypasta for karma AND not allowed per the sidebar specifically rule number six.

Okay, I see. I honestly don't drive so I wasn't aware that is an actual term.
