The best advice anyone can give about driving
is:
Drive defensively.
Please start
with
a
very important safety device in your
Cadillac: 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.
Rear-end collisions are about the most preventable
of
accidents. Yet they are common. Allow enough
following distance. It’s the best defensive driving
maneuver, in both city and rural driving. You never
know when the vehicle in front
of
you
is
going
to
brake
or
turn
suddenly.
