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.
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.
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.
