DEFENSIVE DRIVING EDUCATION
Defensive driving means to predict and to prevent collisions in spite of the errors of others and the driving conditions arround you.
In this course you will receive training on how to Scan the road ahead, Identify hazards and changes, Predict that what might happen, Decide your defensive strategies and Execute them before you reach there. You will be able to prevent collisions with the traffic, pedestrians, and bikes on the road ahead.
It is vital for the drivers to be prepared and predict the undesirable situation in advance. They should set defensive strategies in advance and execute them before they reach the troubled spot. Here are the three steps to stay alert, gear up for the road ahead and prevent collisions:
Aim High:
Look up and far ahead, eyes lead time is 20 to 30 seconds. Prepare for the changes on the road ahead and respond accordingly. And make sure that the wheels do not go ahead of your eyes.
Keep Eyes Moving:
Scan the road ahead and do not look at something for more than a second unless you are asking for a trouble. Check the crossing roads for crossing traffic and pedestrians, and keep track of the hazards. Read traffic signs, instructions and markings. Also, use side vision to keep track of the hazards in the vacinities.
Get the Big Picture:
Check your mirrors at least every 5 seconds. And check the rear view mirror even before you decelerate or before you touch the brake pedal. Be aware of the blind spots arround your vehicle and check it before you steer to the desired direction.
YOUR EYES SHOULD NOT BE IN NEUTRAL AND YOUR BRAIN
SHOULD NOT BE DISTRACTED IF YOUR CAR IS IN DRIVE.
