The Basics of Defensive Driving

Never let your emotions control your driving– It happens quite often on the road and the results are devastating. A driver cuts off the next car and a chain of offensive reaction of angry drivers trying to get back at each other begins. Before you know it, things escalate quickly and an accident follows. Even if you’re late for an important schedule, just drive normal and don’t over-speed. Remember, it is better late than never and a meeting is not more important than your life. Driving is not a competition and as soon you understand that, you will be a better defensive driver.
