This short topic focuses on mindset. The handbook makes the point that it is not enough simply to feel safe on the road. Good drivers stay alert and take an active role in making roads safer for everyone, rather than assuming other road users will always do the right thing. The single question here sets the tone for the rest of the practice bank, where each rule is about anticipating danger, adapting to conditions and protecting yourself, your passengers and other road users. Read the explanation carefully before moving on to the other topics.
