What is Defensive Driving?

What? Defensive driving is essential for responding safely to potential road hazards, including other drivers, damaged surfaces, debris, and adverse weather conditions. Driving inherently involves risks, but by mastering defensive driving techniques, you can significantly enhance your safety and that of others on the road.
