Everything About Defensive Driving Techniques And Tips

Defensive driving is a type of driving in which your main concern is not harming other participants in traffic and not damaging other drivers' cars. Although it sounds great and it seems that all the drivers should stick to this driving style, reality is a whole lot of difference. Nervous drivers expressing their general dissatisfaction through their driving have never heard of the defensive driving style or simply do not want to adapt to other drivers. Because of that, it is clear that you need to take care of yourself and of them, too, staying alert and focused so that you correct their mistakes, as well. By following the defensive driving rules, you will be able to maximize the level of protection for yourself and the passengers you are driving.
All the passengers safe and sound

One of the characteristics of safe driving is checking if all the passengers are in a safe position before you even start the car engine. This means that each of them needs to fasten the seat belt and check if the seat head support is firm. If it is loose or too low/high, it is not safe to drive. Also, if there is a baby on board, its seat needs to be examined and adjusted every time you start the car, even if it is only a 5 min drive, to the local store. Even if other drivers are not defensive ones, you will protect your dearest by following the safety measures.

Adjust driving to seasons
To stay on the path of defensive driving, you need to be easily adaptable to new conditions on the road. When seasons change, you can experience several types of weather conditions in only few hours. If you want to avoid dangers and drive defensively, always adapt your vehicle and speed to weather changes. It is clear that once the winter comes, icy and slippery roads are the biggest danger to all drivers. Knowing that, it is essential that you do not make any sudden movements. Also, never drive with summer tires if the weather is snowy and cold. Even only a couple of meters' drive might stick your car into another car's behind. If not sure about your winter driving skills, taking some extra driving lessons will help you gain more self-confidence and driving knowledge.

Keep the distance
This tip is probably applicable and useful in the widest range of situations. During city drives, minding the gap is the key method for preventing yourself from crashing into the car in front of you, but also for protecting the behind of your car. If you have sixty feet of space in front of you instead of thirty, it is more probable that you will manage to escape the speeding fool behind you. In addition, if a part falls off from a car in front of you, a longer gap will give you time to react in a calm way and avoid sudden changes on your route.

Moreover, when driving on the highway, the gap is even more important, because speeds are much higher and the consequences of bumping into the car in front of you might be fatal.
Defensive driving should be taught yet in high schools, to raise the level of driving culture and awareness. Only by driving in a defensive way will you be able to avoid dangers on the road and keep your car and fellow passengers safe.
