🎯 Expert Decision-Making Principles

  • When in doubt, STOP - Stopping eliminates risk in complex situations
  • Predict worst-case scenarios - Always assume the dangerous possibility
  • Create space and time - Distance and speed reduction = safety buffer
  • Ball in street = child about to chase - Proven crash prevention rule
  • Being legally right doesn't prevent crashes - Defensive beats defensive in court
  • Multi-hazard = full stop required - Don't rush complexity
