What Is Defensive Driving

Defensive driving is a method of driving that focuses on anticipating danger, reducing risks, and making safe decisions before problems occur.

Instead of reacting to hazards at the last second, defensive drivers:

• Look farther ahead

• Identify developing dangers early

• Maintain safe space around the vehicle

• Stay prepared for unexpected events

• Protect themselves from mistakes made by others

Defensive driving is not about speed or skill — it is about awareness, judgment, and preparation.

Why Defensive Driving Skills Matter

Motor vehicle crashes remain one of the leading causes of injury and death worldwide. Most crashes are preventable when drivers use proper defensive driving techniques.

Learning defensive driving skills helps drivers:
