I almost got hit by a car (manualdousuario.net)

I find that just wearing AirPods (no music) while driving to be a somewhat unnerving experience, because of how important it is to hear other vehicles (especially motorcycles in California splitting lanes). I make an effort to not use them while driving because it always felt dangerous.

Always look both ways on a one-way street. I've seen other drivers drive the wrong way down one-way streets. I've also accidentally done it when the signage was non-existent where I got on the street.
