Becoming a Defensive Driver

Since your car is the only vehicle on the road over which you have any control, you cannot count on other drivers to help you avoid involvement in an auto collision. If you wish to keep the likelihood that you will be involved in a car accident low, you must employ defensive driving practices like those discussed in this video clip.

Perhaps the most important defensive driving strategy is to keep considerable space between your car and the vehicles around you. Making an effort to do this can help a driver avoid the most common accident scenarios. Also, try to avoid becoming distracted by technology and your passengers.
