Do you have the Characteristics of a Defensive Driver?

1. KNOWLEDGE
 
How to recognize problems, how to avoid collisions, the traffic laws where you are driving, how to maintain your vehicle and how to perform simple emergency repairs.
 
2. ALERTNESS
 
Pay attention to traffic conditions, your mental condition, your physical condition and to what is happening on all around you.
 
3. FORESIGHT
 
Scan the road ahead for the unexpected, never assume others will drive safely and always wear your safety belt.
 
4. JUDGMENT
 
Control your emotions while driving, resist the temptation of risky maneuvers, pass and turn only when it is safe to do so and remain courteous when other drivers don't.
