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.

Why?

  • Anticipate dangerous situations and avoid risks
  • Increases our knowledge on car safety, reducing the likelihood of wrecks
  • Save on vehicle maintenance and use less fuel
  • Lower stress levels and avoid road rage
  • Shows how to drive in inclement weather
  • Explains the dangers of reckless driving
