Page OverviewTop What is Defensive Driving?
Defensive driving is a method of driving that minimizes the number of driving risks, using more advanced skills than just your basic training. When you employ defensive driving techniques, you become a better, safer, and smarter driver―one who is better prepared for the hazards ahead.
Top Defensive Driving Techniques
The most hands-on way to learn defensive driving techniques is through a local traffic school.
Too, the New York Driver's Manual devotes an entire chapter to defensive driving, and lists the following as the basic techniques:
- Be prepared and look ahead.
- Maintain proper speed.
- Signal when turning or changing lanes.
- Leave enough space, in distance and time, between you and other vehicles.
- Wear your seat belt.
- Don't drive if you are tired, medicated, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
- Maintain your vehicle.
Be sure to check out The Unofficial DMV Guide's New York Traffic School page for a schedule and location near you.
