There are multiple pieces of advice from your parents. You see, every day, the last advice I get from my father is to try slow and have an open area even. I guess if an area is open, there is no car or there is nobody near to me, so why can I try slow? I can push the limits, I can inspire myself with safety gears because there is nobody to come on the road and nobody will be there to make a claim or anything else. But later, I guess two days ago, I was driving a little fast on the highway as it was empty and I was alone. Suddenly, a cat came on the road and my speed was a little high. I just put the brakes in my car, I was scared, had tense moments, left my home alive, I was frozen and God knows what happened, my car got a slide on the road and the cat also saved but I really appreciated it, why is it not to overspeed even if the road is empty or the road. Because nobody knows when that cat or when anything happens. So you should be in your limits following the rules and do obey the appearance. And especially if someone is asking for my health, for my well-being. And this is the best advice I will never forget again and I sure I will pass this advice to my children also and my friends also. By the way, I also got a lesson from this advice. It's a thing before you use or like you should...
