Driving Information
Defensive Driving
Defensive driving means always
expect the unexpected. The first
step in driving defensively is to wear
your safety belt, see Safety Belts

WARNING
Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and other
drivers) are going to be careless
and make mistakes. Anticipate
what they might do and be ready.
In addition:

Allow enough following
distance between you and
the driver in front of you.
.
Focus on the task of driving.
Driver distraction can cause
collisions resulting in injury or
possible death. These simple
defensive driving techniques
could save your life.
