Defensive Driving

Defensive driving is a form of preparation for motor vehicle drivers that goes beyond mastery of the rules of the road and the basic mechanics of driving. Defensive driving's plan is to lessen the risk of driving by expecting dangerous situations, in the face of adverse conditions or the mistakes of others. This can be attained through adherence to a variety of general rules, as well as the practice of specific defensive driving techniques.

Defensive Driving: Before you drive

• Confirm tire pressure, tread, and condition. Low tire pressure can cause tires to fail at high speeds.
  
• Check, and clean if necessary, all windows and lenses.
  
• Confirm oil, gas, and water levels before taking long trips.
  
• Verify that mirrors, seat, and steering column are suitably positioned.
  
• It is required by law in some jurisdictions that the driver ensures all seatbelts are locked and children are secure before starting the engine.
  
• Lock all doors.
  
• Check gauges after starting the engine.
  
• Secure all loose objects inside the vehicle or move them into the trunk. Make a visual circle check of vehicle before moving. Try to park where backing is not required.
  
• Indicate with turn signal and check for traffic before moving away from the road shoulder.
  
• Keep all car documents updated and reachable.
  
• Be prepared for variable traffic and weather conditions.
  
• Be courteous to other drivers.
  
• Avoid road rage. Don't drive while angry or upset.
  
• Know if the car has antilock brakes or not, and how you should respond to braking differently depending on your braking system.
