Yes, predicting what other drivers will do can be one of the difficulties of driving. While you can control your own actions and driving behavior, you cannot control the actions of other drivers on the road.
This means that you must be aware of the actions of other drivers and anticipate their behavior in order to avoid accidents and stay safe on the road.
Some common examples of situations where you may need to predict the actions of other drivers include:
- Approaching an intersection: You need to be aware of the signals of other drivers and anticipate whether they will stop, turn, or continue straight through the intersection.
- Merging onto a highway: You need to be aware of the speed and position of other vehicles on the highway and anticipate when it is safe to merge into traffic.
- Changing lanes: You need to be aware of the position and speed of other vehicles around you and anticipate whether they will move into your lane or change lanes themselves.
