Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and in
varying weather conditions. We’ve also included many other useful tips
on
driving.
Defensive Driving
The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively.
Please start with a very important safety device in your vehicle: Buckle
up.
(See “Safety Belts” in the Index.)
Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.” On city streets,
rural roads, or freeways,
it
means “always expect the unexpected.”
Assume that pedestrians or other drivers are going
to
be
careless and make
mistakes. Anticipate what they might do. Be ready for their mistakes.
