APERÇU DU COURS

The principle of Defensive Driving is to always be prepared for potential problems. This doesn’t mean inviting trouble, but rather being ready to protect oneself from other drivers and the difficulties they might create.

The act of driving is inherently fraught with risk, and no matter how cautious drivers are, they have no power over the actions of others on the road. Whether they are exceeding the speed limit, following too closely, or simply failing to pay adequate attention, other drivers can increase the danger on the roads. But they aren’t the only issue.

Most vehicular accidents occur after dark, when reduced visibility makes driving more challenging. Adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, and ice can lead to loss of control. Moreover, there could be issues with the vehicle itself.

Arming employees with the knowledge required to defend themselves while driving can help in mitigating these risks, thereby contributing to safer roads for all.
