There are a lot of bad drivers out there. Accidents happen on the evening news every day. Traffic control cameras have captured some incredible crashes. So, along with the horrible sights of motor accidents, the news might talk a lot about the need for defensive driving. What is defensive driving? Despite the name, driving defensively has nothing to do with weaponry. It’s based more on preventing accidents from happening, rather than giving you the excuse to drive a tank down the highway to the music of The Ride of the Valkyries.
