What do you Mean by Defensive Driving? • Defensive driving is actively participating in safe driving practises by anticipating and preparing for probable road dangers.

You significantly reduce the risk of collisions by staying alert, maintaining a safe distance, and anticipating potential hazards. 2. Reduced Stress • Defensive driving promotes a calmer and more relaxed driving experience. This stress reduction contributes to your overall well-being during your driving lesson. 3. Improved Fuel Efficiency • You will optimise your fuel efficiency by avoiding sudden stops, rapid acceleration, and excessive speed changes. Defensive driving encourages smoother driving patterns. 4. Legal Benefits • In some cases, practising defensive driving can help you avoid traffic violations or mitigate the consequences of certain infractions. This leads to reduced fines or fewer points on your driving record.

Anticipate and Predict • You must continually examine the road ahead, assessing the behaviour of other vehicles, pedestrians, and any dangers.

You must keep your phone far from you so you do not pick it up while driving. 4.  Maintain Safe Following Distance • Keeping a safe space between your car and the one in front of you gives you plenty of time to respond in the event of emergencies or unexpected stops.
