How to be a defensive driver..?

Answer 1

Why, the best defense is always a good offense! So cut 'em off, ram 'em, go around that annoying idiot as fast as you can, get in front of that slowpoke, tailgate excessively if you can't get around (him while making angry faces) pass him on the double yellow line and give rude gestures while doing so, always go through yellow lights, and above all, never, ever drive the speed limit unless you see a cop.

Answer 2

Best advice I got: Assume all other drivers are drunk or crazy; or both.

Keep checking your mirrors often.
Drive "high"--focus on the street far ahead of you so you won't be surprised.
Don't try to "win", whether it's getting into a lane or taking off from a stop light faster.
Don't try to speed through on a yellow light.
Don't tailgate.
Yield right of way.
Let people pass you who seem to be in a hurry.
Expect the worst.

Answer 3

You can take a class in this.
But the trick is to watch all the cars around you and anticipate their next move. It's easy, you can tell when someone is going to turn even if they haven't turned on their turn signal but the way they slow down a bit and lean into the curb.

Answer 4

Always be aware of whats going on around you and be constantly thinking what you will do if something happens. I's pretty much reacting to things around you, but being ready to react.


Ex) If this person cuts me off, what will I do? If this sofa falls off of the truck in front of me, what will I do and should I move to prevent the situation from even arising.
