Whether you\u2019re&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/blog\/driving-in-winter-weather\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">driving in the winter<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, a teen driver, or getting behind the wheel again after an accident, these defensive driving techniques can bring you extra peace of mind. Defensive driving promotes remaining calm and vigilant when behind the wheel so you can get to your destination safely and avoid road rage. Learn what defensive driving is below and how you can implement it to make your daily commute a little easier.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-defensive-driving-techniques\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Defensive Driving Techniques<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">While you can\u2019t eliminate all threats on the road, you can control how you respond to them. Defensive drivers anticipate driving risks and respond effectively to avoid accidents. You can supplement your driver\u2019s education with defensive driving techniques, starting with the skills of&nbsp;preparing, observing, and reacting,&nbsp;so you\u2019re prepared if there\u2019s an emergency.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-keep-your-distance\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Keep Your Distance<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Keep ample space between you and the car in front of you to give yourself time to respond safely if the driver makes a mistake. The amount of space needed varies depending on your speed, but generally, a three to four second gap between you and the other driver is considered safe. When the car passes an object in front of you, such as a car, tree, or signpost, count the number of seconds it takes you to reach that object to measure your distance. If you\u2019re driving at high speeds, you might need to leave a bigger space to allow yourself more time to break. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-be-mindful-of-your-surroundings-nbsp\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Be Mindful of Your Surroundings<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Be aware of your surroundings while you drive. Check your mirrors frequently and scan the road ahead of you\u00a0for cars, cyclists, and pedestrians.\u00a0Identify\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/blog\/what-is-road-rage-and-how-can-you-prevent-it\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">aggressive drivers<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0and avoid them by\u00a0pulling over, slowing down, or taking the nearest exit.\u00a0By remaining aware of your surroundings, you\u2019ll be able to react quickly if you notice any potential threats.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-assume-other-drivers-are-safe-drivers-nbsp\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Don\u2019t Assume Other Drivers Are Safe Drivers<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Be considerate of other drivers&nbsp;but remember that they may not adhere to your safe-driving standards. While no driver is perfect, some vehicles are being operated by aggressive or distracted drivers that might run a red light or forget their turn signal.&nbsp;Anticipating another driver\u2019s mistakes can help you adjust accordingly to avoid accidents.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-match-your-speed-to-current-conditions-nbsp\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Match Your Speed to Current Conditions<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">It\u2019s easier to drive in less-than-perfect conditions when you drive at a slower speed. Use your best judgment and drive at a speed that\u2019s appropriate for your driving conditions, even if it\u2019s under the speed limit. Speed limits are created with ideal conditions in mind, so adjust accordingly when it\u2019s raining or&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/blog\/do-i-need-snow-tires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">snowing<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">&nbsp;to give yourself ample time to brake.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stay-calm-and-attentive\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Stay Calm and Attentive<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You\u2019ll&nbsp;be ready to react to emergencies if you maintain a calm and attentive headspace while driving. If aggressive drivers are causing you to see red, try not to let their road rage rub off on you. Also, minimize distractions while driving&nbsp;so&nbsp;your full attention is on the road ahead.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you\u2019re looking for more safety tips, you might be a good candidate for an online or in-person defensive driving class.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Before you hit the road, make sure you have insurance.
