Are You Driving Safely—or Just Following the Rules? Let’s be honest—when things go wrong on the road, the first instinct is to blame someone else. "That guy cut me off!" "That driver didn’t stop!" But what if, instead of pointing fingers, we started asking what we could have done differently? It's Not Just About Rules—It's About Awareness Sure, road laws exist for a reason. But they don’t cover everything, and even if you have the "right of way," that doesn’t guarantee safety. A court case—Sibley v Kais (1967) 118 CLR 424—proves this. Just because someone technically broke a rule doesn’t always mean they’re the sole reason an accident happened. What really matters is whether drivers were paying attention and acting responsibly. And here’s a thought: Can you swear that you haven’t made a mistake or broken a road rule in the past week? Maybe you didn’t signal once. Maybe you drifted a little too close to the next lane. You probably didn’t do it on purpose. So why do we expect everyone else on the road to be perfect when we ourselves slip up sometimes? Queensland road laws don’t even use the term “right of way”—instead, they focus on who must give way in different situations. That’s because driving isn’t a competition; it’s about reading the road and making smart choices to keep everyone safe. Common Risky Situations—and How to Avoid Them Most crashes don’t happen because someone was deliberately reckless—they happen because drivers misjudged something or didn’t spot a risk in See more
