Road safety is a crucial aspect of any driver’s repertoire. As a driver, you are responsible for yourself, those in your car, the cars driving around you and pedestrians using the foot paths and crossings. Defensive and low risk driving are two important factors of being a safe and responsible driver.
Beginner and experienced drivers can struggle to identify and manage the risks presented on the road.
Low risk driving refers to the critical skill of being able to anticipate hazards on the road by staying alert whilst driving.
Defensive driving ensures a driver is capable of responding to the hazard at hand correctly, to ensure everyone’s safety on the road.
It requires in depth knowledge of the vehicle dynamics and the safety systems in place.
