Being aware of one’s surroundings, regardless of whether they represent the road or the sidewalk, is very important, especially when dealing with big, heavy metallic boxes on wheels which may be driven by people who are angry, tired, drunk or even just very bad at driving.
One needs to always be prepared to ‘take evasive maneuvers’, because you never know what is lurking around the next corner. Another important aspect is keeping calm in the face of difficult situations and not panicking, because it will dull your reaction times to the point you may not even react at all.
This Russian driver is an excellent example of how being aware can save you from being involved in a rather serious-looking accident involving a truck which seems to have gotten out of control. The driver must have checked his mirror and seen the out-of-control lorry heading his way and moved his car, to the best of his abilities, out of the way - if all drivers were like this, accidents would be few and far between.
