Be aware of your surroundings.

Hedges down country lanes will often mean there could be a hidden turning coming up.

Overhanging trees often means the road is more slippery thanks to leaves, sap, general tree deposits, and the fact that the road is shaded from the snulight, so will dry out less quickly, or will simply be colder.

Read the road properly at all times, but especialy when pushing on - read four cars in front, so yuo are best suited to anticpate.

Always assume the other guy in front is an idiot - makes you much less susceptible to a crash if you constantly underestimate people's abilities.
