Defensive driving is about anticipating potential hazards and maintaining a safety cushion around your vehicle.
Space management:
-
Maintain at least a three-second following distance under normal conditions.
-
Increase following distance during bad weather, poor visibility, or when following large trucks or motorcycles.
-
Avoid driving in other vehicles’ blind spots and be aware of your own.
Hazard avoidance:
-
Continuously scan the road ahead, sides, and behind your vehicle.
-
Identify potential hazards early so you can respond calmly and smoothly.
-
Adjust speed and position as necessary to maintain a safe buffer from other road users.
Defensive driving reduces crash risks by giving you time and space to react safely to changing conditions.
