      Operations people - if you drive, do you drive as a safely as you try to make changes? Or Is it like night and day. Are you a better operator or a better driver? Do you have driving operational tips? What are they? I'll reply with some of mine.

      One general driving life rule: prefer to miss a turn or an exit than to try to make it suddenly. it's just not worth it. Patience in general is worth cultivating.

      Another: be sure of eye contact with other road users when negotiating passage at a junction, a crossing, or whatever ... see that they see you and don't proceed until you're sure and they seem to be stopping.

      A classic: back into parking spaces, it's safer. It's easy to see if a space is clear before you park in it, and no-one is likely to suddenly get in your way. The opposite is true of the shared roadway, so be able to drive forwards into the roadway with a full view.

      Obvious but under done: Don't tailgate, and leave plenty of space when stopping behind cars, they might roll back, especially if ti's a manual transmission.

      Something I learned recently: the Dutch reach - https://99percentinvisible.org/article/dutch-reach-clever-workaround-keep-cyclists-getting-doored/ … - this works and protects cyclists!

          100% this, not sure where in Europe I picked it up but it’s a vital habit in NYC and LA.

          Personal pet peeve of mine in Seattle, people who indicate while they turn because their hand swipes the indicator as they turn the wheel - might as well not indicate at all. The point of an indicator is to inform other drivers of your intentions well in advance so they can plan!
