Favourite Advanced Driving Quotations.
Discussion
Little phrases, quips or mantras that are useful, amusing, or just plain good advice.
My rather arrogant favourite, which to me sums up the whole advanced driving ethos, and spoils the whole thread right from the off by not actually being about cars, is this:
"The superior pilot is the one who uses his superior judgement to avoid situations where his superior skills may be required."

"Don't use your skill to get you out of trouble, use it to make sure you never get into trouble in the first place."
We are discouraged form teaching that these days, so I prefer to tell my pupils "if you assume everyone else on the road is an idiot, you'll be proved right more often than you're proved wrong". It isn't that all other drivers are bad, you just never notice the good ones whereas the bad ones stick in your mind.
My second peice of advice I got from my dad, if you see an indicator flashing, it's safe to assume there's a bulb in it (and nothing else).
