Your
Driving and
the
Road
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
Geo: 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.
