Do not mistake dumb luck for skill. On a track, you have a fair idea what others around you might do. On the Freeway, it is a crap shoot, or worse, Russian rulette with 5 live rounds. On a track, there are no moving objects that weigh 5-50 times as much as you, that you can easily end up underneath, or run over by.
I bet if the cameras had survived, there would be any number of videos that don't end so calmly. |
Right. After a few years of driving for a living, I came up with this axiom that it takes 2 mistakes in order for a typical accident to happen. Not anticipating and allowing for somebody else's mistake counts as mistake #2.
