Hi. I am expecting to go on the road (in NSW) for a short while with my Grand Children and am hoping that I may be able to meet up with some drovers on the way.

Do you approach an intersection with anticipation? Do you approach a round-a-bout with anticipation? Do you approach a set of lights with anticipation? Anticipation that something will change what you expect will be ok. This could be a vehicle broken down around the bend. This could mean a speed...
