Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Defensive (or preventive) driving consists of anticipating possible risk situations before they occur. One of its fundamental techniques is space management: avoiding the so-called 'zones of uncertainty', that is, the spaces into which other road users can suddenly move (such as a pedestrian stepping off the sidewalk or a driver opening the door of a parked car). Moving away from them is a characteristic practice of defensive driving, on both urban and interurban roads. That is why it is false that it is a behavior allowed only on urban roads, and it is also false to consider it incorrect: it is never an inadvisable practice.
