Defensive driving
Why Take This Course
While operating any motor vehicle, you must be fully prepared for the situation, including anticipating and reacting quickly to the actions of other drivers. We know we are safe drivers, but how do we know who the other guy is?
We can never assume that we are sharing the road with equally safe drivers, so it is imperative that you and your staff be prepared for the worst.
Defensive driving teaches proactive behaviour and rapid assessment skills, which allow drivers to identify potential problems before they occur so that they may react appropriately and be prepared to take corrective action.
Avoid the common simple mistakes that often reoccur due to failing to predict the outcome of other drivers’ actions or your own actions, putting yourself in situations where you have no exit strategy, choosing a faster but higher-risk method for executing a task, and not scanning surroundings for risks like power lines, other workers, and soft or sloped terrain.
Learn to identify problems before they occur so you can react appropriately while driving.
