Defensive driving is also known as low risk driving or safe driving. Defensive driving is taking precautions assuming that other road users will not always follow the road rules and will not always do what we expect them to do.
This means that we alter our driving by observing the actions and reactions of other drivers, cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians, the weather conditions and the way we feel and keep learning how to make choices that put safety first.
It is based on effective observation all around our vehicle, close and far, inside and outside and good anticipation and control of both ourselves and our vehicle.
Driving with Responsibility, Care, Consideration and Courtesy to others will help to reduce the risks and achieve the skill of Defensive driving.
