Explanation

Driving that lets you anticipate possible risks is called defensive driving. It means paying attention to what is happening on the road and around it, predicting possible dangerous situations and acting in advance to avoid them. Defensive driving involves keeping a suitable safe distance, paying attention to traffic signs, predicting what other drivers will do, and adapting your speed and behaviour to the road, weather and traffic conditions. It is an approach that aims to reduce the risk of accidents by always keeping a margin of safety and control.
