  • Understanding defensive driving principles: Defensive driving involves anticipating potential hazards and taking proactive measures to avoid accidents.
  • Maintaining a safe following distance: Use the three-second rule to maintain a safe following distance. This allows you to stop safely if the car in front of you suddenly brakes.
  • Scanning the road ahead: Constantly scan the road ahead for potential hazards, such as pedestrians, cyclists, other vehicles, or road obstructions.
  • Recognizing potential hazards: Be aware of common road hazards, such as blind spots, slippery roads, construction zones, and distracted drivers.
  • Avoiding accidents: Take appropriate actions to avoid accidents, such as slowing down, changing lanes, or stopping if necessary.
