Speeding past parked vehicles is one of the most common and dangerous habits drivers pick up from the pack. The logic seems sound—why slow down when the flow is moving? But the danger lies in the unknown. A pedestrian stepping out, a cyclist emerging, or even a car door opening can lead to a crash that could’ve been avoided with a little extra caution.
The pack doesn’t encourage defensive driving, but it’s your responsibility to prioritize safety over speed. Slowing down, changing lanes, or signaling your presence with a tap of the horn can make all the difference. It’s not about holding up traffic; it’s about protecting yourself and others.
At Cooper Driving School, we teach students to recognize and respond to hidden hazards. Our anxiety-free driving lessons focus on building awareness and confidence, helping you make smarter, safer decisions on the road. Learn to drive calmly, confidently, and with purpose.
