Defensive Driving

I wish to encourage motorist to adopt defensive driving. This is defined as follows:
The standard Safe Practices for Motor Vehicle Operations, defines defensive driving as "driving to save lives, time, and money, in spite of the conditions around you and the actions of others."This definition is taken from the National Safety Council's Defensive Driving Course. It is a form of training for motor vehicle drivers that goes beyond mastery of the rules of the road and the basic mechanics of driving. Its aim is to reduce the risk of collision by anticipating dangerous situations, despite adverse conditions or the mistakes of others. This can be achieved through adherence to a variety of general rules, as well as the practice of specific driving techniques.
