Lead as if someone were following you.

My youngest son and I learned a very valuable lesson today when we were following someone in the car today. The person that I was following was driving with no regard for the person in the car behind them; me! They made all of the classic 'I have absolutely no regard for the person following me' mistakes. They were weaving in and out of traffic. They would leave us at intersections when I caught a yellow or red light behind them and oh...they didn't give me the address of where we were going! Fortunately our destination was a popular landmark so I got there in spite of having a questionable guide. What lesson was reinforced? Never follow someone. Blaze your own trail!
