Often I will watch the series of events ahead of us evolve as my driver continues to approach the ever increasing complex situation. I refer to this as DON’T JOIN THE PARTY which is a very common habit for new drivers.

A car pulling out of the gas station to the far right, entering the closest driving lane caused the cars ahead in our passing lane to slow abruptly because the lane to the left of them was filled with left turning vehicles.

We were continuing to move at the original flow of traffic speed, clearly my driver not seeing the gas station car enter the road way. A classic DON’T JOIN THE PARTY habit I often see.

I step in, slow us down immediately and slow us down.
