• Concrete Ontario Driving Awareness Best Practices Guide

  Driving defensively is the best way to avoid being involved in an on-road incident. A defensive driver is one who can make allowances for the lack of skill or improper attitude of the other party, and make quick calculated decisions to avoid conflict. The defensive driver is always working to gain better information from their operating environment to allow themselves more time and space to make decisions. The defensive driver is always more concerned with being safe versus being right, and will give away his/her right-of way to avoid an incident. There are many defensive driving courses on the market and each has its own unique approach to the topic. The most important thing to remember is that driving defensively is a skill set that must be practiced and applied on an ongoing basis, and that the techniques apply to any sized vehicle.
