Often Asked Questions
What Is Defensive Driving?
Simply stated, defensive driving is the practice of driving so as to avoid getting into accidents.
Defensive Driving is generally accomplished in a few key ways:
- Leaving more distance between your vehicle and others than the minimum recommended.
- Pace yourself with traffic. Going faster, or slower than the pace of traffic around you makes you much more vulnerable to getting into an accident.
- Positioning your vehicle optimally in all common driving situations.
- Being courteous to other drivers so as to minimize road rage incidents.
- Driving in the correct lane, rather than being a center lane or left lane hog.
- Anticipating what common mistakes other drivers around you are most likely to make, try to position your vehicle to reduce its vulnerability, and having a plan in your mind as to what you will do if they do indeed make that mistake.

What can I do as a student driver to practice more?
If you can get a qualified driver to help you practice then do so.
Just remember, if the qualified driver tells you to do something differently than the instructor, the instructor is always right. Although the person with you may not necessarily be wrong, the instructor will teach you techniques that are safest. They also train you in a way that makes sure you will be able to pass a road test the first time.
