In Life and Drive. Know when to ‘Lead’ and when to ‘Follow’.

If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

Hello my friend, how are you doing today? I hope you are having a fantastic day. Right now I am traveling to my friend’s place. Her mother just passed away today.

So yeah, my heart is a bit heavy. Please pray for strength for my friend.

Today’s question is interesting. Freeway billboards are exciting advertising space. When we are driving we are in kind of trance, we are driving with muscle memory, and our mind is running around, to be attentive.

At such state, a well directed message can leave a deep impression on a viewer. If I was owning one, I would share a very important message for the drivers.

Driving is an art. Knowing how to accelerate and de accelerate a car is just the basic. But, how to drive that vehicle on the pulse of the traffic is totally a different thing.

You have to understand the average speed of the road, probable surprises, visibility, open spaces, speed traps, etc.

All in all, driving is to know, when to lead and when to follow. If we are just driving our car in a straight line, slowly. We are not helping, we are not showing good driving, we are the problem.

We are hindering the flow of traffic, we are the obstacles for the cars that are coming from behind.

Similarly, if we are extravagant high speed, that is a no brainer, anything can happen. The art of perfection lies with the flow of traffic.

Crossing folks, moving ahead, beware of speed cameras though. Lead when you have to, follow when it is necessary.

Love and Luck, my friend.
