Principles of Defensive Driving – Part II

Avoid Distractions: Distracted driving is also a factor of accident related deaths and injuries. When you're behind the wheel, focus only on the road.

Pass with Care: If you need to pass another driver, make sure there's enough space so you don't cut them off or get too close to another vehicle.

Stay Calm: A minor irritation can quickly turn into road rage. Keeping your cool no matter what another driver does can help prevent a frustration from escalating into a serious incident.

Let Speeders Pass: If someone is driving over the speed limit, don't feel like you need to pick up your pace to keep up with them. Continue driving the speed limit, and safely move over to let them pass.
