A great way to avoid being involved in a car accident is to learn to drive defensively. A defensive driver is hyper alert making them always aware of their surroundings. It’s important to learn how to drive defensively because it will make you a safer driver.
Defensive driving requires you to think and plan ahead. Weather conditions and roadway conditions constantly change and planning ahead means you may find a safer alternative route.
To drive defensively you should:
- Scan the road far ahead and be aware of your surroundings
- Don’t assume other drivers are competent and safe on the road
- Avoid blind spots and be aware of vehicles driving in your own blind spots
- Always keep your full attention on the road
- Keep your hands on the wheel at 10pm and 2pm at all times
There are auto insurance companies that will reward safe drivers by offering them a better deal on their auto insurance. As we know, safe drivers with a long track record are less likely to be involved in an accident. However, we know that even safe drivers get into accidents as we cannot control the actions of others.
