Better Safe Than Sorry

(it is better to choose a safe course of action than a risky one that could lead to regrets)

Memorial Day weekend is coming up. Why don't we go visit Herb and Stephie in L.A.?

Sure. I'm game. Should we drive or take the train?

I think it'll be faster if we drive. We can be there in six hours.

The way you drive, probably less! But I'd rather not be on the road with all that traffic on Memorial Day weekend. Let's take the train. Better than safe than sorry.

You're right. A holiday weekend is a dangerous time to take a car trip. We should take the train and be safe, rather than risk being hurt in a car accident.

I'm glad you agree. The train it is!

I'm game. = I'll go with you.
