About This Webinar
Defensive driving is a mindset and a set of skills that prioritize safety on the road. It involves anticipating potential hazards, making informed decisions, and taking proactive measures to avoid accidents and collisions. Defensive drivers are not only attentive to their own actions but also considerate of other road users and potential risks.
By practicing defensive driving, adhering to traffic laws, and embracing a mindset of road safety, drivers contribute to a safer, more responsible, and more efficient transportation system. Prioritizing defensive driving is not only a personal commitment to safety but also a contribution to the well-being of communities and society as a whole.
