The Foundation: Understanding Defensive Driving To effectively master defensive driving techniques, we must first solidify our understanding of defensive driving itself. Defensive driving goes beyond simply adhering to traffic laws; it demands a proactive strategy to remain safe while driving, foreseeing potential hazards, decreasing insurance premiums, and minimizing fuel consumption and vehicle maintenance expenses. Keep in mind that when you're operating the organization's vehicle, you are their first representant and image, so be vigilant. By observing the road ahead, anticipating the actions of other drivers, planning for potential hazards, maintaining situational awareness and safe following distance, we can significantly reduce the road traffic incidents and collisions. Sharpening Your Skills: Defensive Driving Techniques One of the key pillars of defensive driving is mindfulness. The act of being fully present while driving plays a significant role in ensuring your personal safety, as well as the safety of your passengers and those around you. By avoiding distractions, particularly from mobile devices, and concentrating on the traffic in front of you, you are taking important steps towards responsible driving behavior. Additionally, don't forget to buckle up and prepare yourself for the journey ahead. By maintaining a clear mind and keep focused, you can react swiftly to any unexpected situations on the road.(observation, anticipation, and planning) Understanding the capabilities and limitations of your vehicle is essential for defensive driving. Practice emergency manoeuvres in a controlled environment to familiarize yourself with how your vehicle responds in different situations. This includes techniques such as emergency braking and threshold braking(with no ABS), evasive and avoiding an obstacle, reverse practice and Y-turn which can help you navigate specific scenarios with confidence. Plan your routes and itineraries in advance, taking into account factors such as traffic conditions and weather forecasts. By being prepared, you can avoid last-minute decisions that may compromise safety. Additionally, always have a backup plan in place in case unexpected roadblocks and breakdown occurs. Defensive driving requires a heightened sense of situational awareness. Scan the road ahead, check your mirrors and blind spots frequently, and monitor the movements of other vehicles around you, especially other drivers and their behaviors. By staying aware of your surroundings, you can proactively identify potential hazards and take evasive action when necessary.

Road Safety Awareness tip: Driving is the most fantastic and enjoyable thing to do as it allows us to travel from one place to another, but it can also endanger us and our passengers. Our journey on the road demands a high level of attention and focus due to the unpredictable nature of traffic and other road user behaviors. Therefore, it is crucial to always stay on high alert and maintain vigilance while behind the wheel. By scanning the road ahead, being aware of our surroundings to anticipate, and regularly checking mirrors and blind spots, we can be better prepared to handle any potential obstacles or hazards. Some circumstances will automatically decrease our attention on the road and expose us gradually to dangers, such as: - Impaired driver(use of mobile phone or in-car entertainment system/GPS etc), - Fatigue, - Driving under alcohol or drugs, - Bad visibility during day/night or rainy/snowy conditions, - Psychological stress and bad feelings, - Distractions inside and outside the vehicle - Aggressive driving habits, such as speeding and tailgating, - Bad road conditions Ultimately, in the event of a hazard, your eyes will relay information to your brain, which will then evaluate the situation and instruct you to halt the vehicle or reduce speed, avoid an obstacle, or take evasive maneuvers. However, this reaction time can be too late as it takes approximately 1 second depending on the driver's condition. After that, it will take you at least another half a second to transition from pressing the gas pedal to pressing the brake pedal with your right foot, causing you to cover a certain distance on the road depending on your driving speed... Our Road Safety Defensive Driver Training program emphasizes the importance of preventive measures in driving, and we teach the Foot-Brake technique as a means to promote safe driving behaviors among our students.
