Most important driving skill to you?

[obi_waynne]

What would you say is the single most important driving skill and why?

I would say that anticipation is the key one because all the other skills are improved or rely on mastering this one.

Recognizing that I am not the best driver in the world and driving defensively ( like everyone is out to get me) at all times.

Realizing that all/most other motorists seem to have scant knowledge of the rules or any inclination to abide by them and are likely to make sudden lane changes without indicating their intentions or hitting the indicators as they change direction

Experience will help develop a sixth sense as to what some motorists are about to do next.

IE When you see a parked vehicle and see the brake lights on the odds are that it will pull out into the traffic flow without indicating.

That is a gem! I like that.

Same as you really Waynne, anticipation/observation I would say. Always be aware of everything happening around you and what others are doing/may do. Number one rule. Hence the signature. Lol

Glad we're in agreement.
