Risk Management Magazine

I am a pretty calm guy. I find that getting worked up about things only tends to make matters worse. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy getting other people riled up, particularly those who are being jerks.

When I looked ahead, I saw an abandoned car stopped in the left lane of traffic. Beneath it, a white sheet covered someone’s body. It struck me that the body under the sheet was awfully small for an adult. Then it hit me — it was a child!

I’ve always been impatient to get on the road. On this journey, I let that get in the way of proper trip planning and risk assessment.
