5 Defensive Driving Tips You Must Follow

The saying prevention is better than cure is true in many aspects including driving. You never know what kind of person the other driver is or how good they are at driving. Being aware of your surroundings and how you drive is the only factor that you can control when you are driving. That is why defensive driving should always be your way of driving to stay as safe as you can on the road.

Here are 5 tips that you can follow to implement defensive driving

Safety first

You will never regret making safety your first line of defense. You can ensure your safety by avoiding rash driving and following safety instructions like wearing a seatbelt, avoiding phone usage, etc.

Four-second rule

You should always maintain an adequate distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.

Maintain your focus

If you tend to be on your phone or get distracted easily then you need to change that habit as soon as possible. Maintaining focus is of utmost importance on the road no matter what the weather condition is.

Always assume that the driver is a novice

Since you can’t tell who is good or bad at driving, assuming they are all bad will do you good, as they will make you more focused on your driving.

Check intersection

If you see an intersection coming then it's better to slow down and look out for reckless drivers as interactions are common areas where accidents happen.
