While the basics of defensive driving are important, there are also advanced techniques that can help you stay safe on the road. In this blog post, we’ll cover some of these techniques and provide tips on how to implement them in your driving.
Scan the road ahead: Keep your eyes moving and scan the road ahead for potential hazards, including other cars, pedestrians, and animals.
Anticipate other drivers’ actions: Watch for signs that other drivers may be about to make a sudden stop or turn, and be prepared to take evasive action if necessary.
Use your peripheral vision: Keep your eyes on the road ahead, but also use your peripheral vision to monitor what’s happening on the sides and rear of your vehicle.
Plan your escape route: Always have a plan in mind for what you’ll do if a potential hazard arises, such as swerving to avoid a car that suddenly stops in front of you.
Communicate with other drivers: Use your turn signals and horn to communicate with other drivers, and avoid aggressive or confrontational driving behaviors.
By implementing these advanced techniques in your driving, you can become a more skilled and confident defensive driver.
