It's also good advice
To assume other drivers are idiots who are about to do something stupid. They aren't indicating because they're about to turn; they just forgot to stop indicating from earlier. Unless a turn would involve cutting across oncoming traffic, in which case they will turn at the last possible moment. If they flash their lights they aren't inviting you to pull out, the stalk got snagged on their jewellery or they saw a friend coming the other way.

This ^
Assume everyone on the road is a terrible driver and liable to do anything at all given a moment's notice.

After a while you'll easily be able to spot the bad drivers a mile off and ive them wide enough of a berth to keep yourself and others safe. (Weaving about, inconsistent speed, mobile phone, excessive hand-waving, kids in the car, chavvy mods, loud music, etc.)
