“Think before you act.”
While driving, you should know that all your actions will yield results; it can be good or bad. Thinking should be constant while driving, even before applying breaks, because applying a break without caution can lead to an accident, which could have dare consequences.

Thinking is an important aspect of driving; thinking should be done before making any move while driving; most accidents and collisions can be avoided if drivers think before they act.

One of these includes switching lanes, look at your side mirror, and make sure you signal the person coming behind you. Other precautions include: speeding up without caution, disobeying traffic rules, and so much more.

A typical response to morally confusing situations is to follow the law while minimizing damage as much as possible. This strategy works because, during an emergency, it forces you to think about what you will do and keep in mind that it affects others on the road.

Quick decisions must be made within the context of the situation. You need to examine the whole picture and think about what you are going to do and how it affects others on the road. If the situation is an emergency, you may have to speed, change lanes, but do so without harming another driver on the road. When you drive, look way ahead. Many accidents occur when drivers panic and try to overcorrect when they have made a mistake.

The correct answer to this question is think before you act. Thinking is the most important part of driving. Many accidents and collisions can be prevented if a person takes the time to think before making an action while driving. One of those cases are when switching lanes.

Before you switch a lane, you should be sure to check your mirrors. If a person is close by, make sure to think and assess the distance to ensure that you can change the lane before you execute it. Another time a driver should be thinking is when you are speeding up.

Think before you act.
What's constant in all emergency driving situations, is the need to assess your options and make the decision that will result in the best outcome for everyone. In some cases, switching lanes, or even speeding up is warranted. Immediately applying your breaks could result in an accident if the situation hasn't been properly assessed.
