Observation

A few weeks ago my TPMS light came on in my car (tire pressure monitoring system). I was running late for work so decided to keep driving. I also did not think it was a big deal because when I had first bought the car the light came on and I took it to the dealership and they said there was an error with the monitor and they fixed it. So my problem was my tire, and based on my observation was based on previous history with the monitoring light so I hypothesized that it was an error in the monitoring system again. That night I checked my tires and one looked like it was going flat so I took it to a mechanic the next day. They proved my hypothesis to be incorrect and there was nothing wrong with the monitoring system. Instead, they found that I had a huge screw stuck in my tire which was causing it to go flat.

  1. Assumption can always lead to negative outcomes. In this case, you made the wrong conclusion about your tire pressure. Although you found out that your conclusion was incorrect, this incorrect assumption could have led to a very serious accident. Luckily for you, you checked your tires and realized you needed an expert to look at them before you did any serious damage. Cars are almost life threatening. Every single time you get behind the wheel and drive you are giving yourself access to a weapon that must always be under your control. It is suggestible to know and understand every aspect of a situation before concluding anything. This will evade you many problems that you may come up with in the future, especially when dealing with cars.
