Best Practice: Defensive Driving

Defend Yourself On The Road

Defensive driving is a style of driving which can help you to keep away from problems on the road. A defensive driver does not just concentrate on his or her own actions, but also concentrates on the actions of other road users.

Additionally, a defensive driver goes beyond the laws of the road, continuously assessing the potential hazards and adapting his or her driving behaviour to suit the conditions.

The main purpose of defensive driving is to reduce the chance of collisions or incidents despite the actions of other road users and the conditions on the road.
