What Is Defensive Driving?
Defensive driving is a proactive approach to vehicle safety that helps drivers identify hazards early, manage risk, and make safer decisions in a constantly changing road environment.
Build safer habits on every trip
Every road environment changes quickly. Focus on the space around your vehicle, look well ahead, and give yourself enough time to recognize hazards before they become emergencies.
Small decisions—reducing speed for conditions, leaving a safe following distance, and limiting distractions—add up to a safer drive for everyone on the road.
Put defensive driving into practice
Use these principles each time you drive. Stay alert, anticipate the unexpected, and make choices that keep a margin of safety between you and potential danger.
