Defensive Driving
The best advice anyone can give about driving
is:
Drive
defensively.
Please start
with
a very important safety device
in
your
A~lr01-a: 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
cotnmon.
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.
