Driving Information

Defensive Driving

Defensive driving means “always
expect the unexpected.” The first
step in driving defensively is to wear
the safety belt. See Safety Belts on
page 3‑8
.

{

WARNING

Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and other
drivers) are going to be careless
and make mistakes. Anticipate
what they might do and be ready.
In addition:

.

Allow enough following
distance between you and
the driver in front of you.

.

Focus on the task of driving.

(Continued)

WARNING (Continued)

Driver distraction can cause
collisions resulting in injury or
possible death. These simple
defensive driving techniques
could save your life.

Drunk Driving

{

WARNING

Drinking and then driving is
very dangerous. Your reflexes,
perceptions, attentiveness,
and judgment can be affected by
even a small amount of alcohol.
You can have a serious — or
even fatal — collision if you drive
after drinking. Do not drink and
drive or ride with a driver who has
been drinking. Ride home in a
cab; or if you are with a group,
designate a driver who will not
drink.
