[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a terrible driver and two of my kids are also because we are on the autism spectrum and really struggle to predict what other drivers will do on the road. I can’t tell if someone is about to slow down or speed up, is going to cut in front of me, is going to let me pass him etc. No idea how the rest of you do that. 
If I lived in a big city with great public transport I probably wouldn’t drive but in America that’s pretty uncommon. My daughter feels the same way. I wish I didn’t have to drive. [/quote]

What does it have to do with autism? You don’t need to interpret social clues.  And you don’t need to try to predict what other drivers would do.  Just try to look a little further ahead and not at the bumper of the car immediately in front of you [/quote]
Defensive driving is all about anticipating other drivers’ actions.[/quote]

And how do you do it? You look ahead and see a stopped traffic and you “anticipate” that the car in front of you will start braking hard pretty soon. [/quote]
