Defensive
Driving
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 theyaare 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.
