Explanation
The "golden rule" of driving is to treat other drivers and road users the way you would like to be treated - or in other words, drive as you want others around you to drive. This means showing courtesy, patience, and respect to everyone on the road - whether they are drivers, pedestrians, or cyclists. Obey traffic laws, avoid aggressive behavior, and practice patience behind the wheel. Safe driving requires common sense, self-control, and defensive driving habits. Remember: being courteous makes the road safer for everyone.
