Better to be safe than sorry” is a remark of value only when these are the actual alternatives. This means that there usually is no alternative to safety and that everyone should be careful of accidents. “Better to be safe than sorry” is a vague and ambiguous saying, which is why it is important for people to understand exactly what it means.
