Everyone is careful when taking a road for the first time, but once we get used to any route, we may start going through it based on the assumption of “it’s always like this.” Sometimes, that can even lead to dangerous situations.

This message reminds us not to make careless assumptions just because it’s a familiar route—stay alert no matter which road you take.
