On what basic principles is defensive driving founded?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 'Vision, anticipation, and space management'. Defensive (or preventive) driving is a mindset that allows you to avoid accidents despite the mistakes of others or adverse conditions. It relies on three key techniques: Vision: It is not enough to look at the vehicle in front; you must look far ahead (where you will be in a few seconds) and check your mirrors to gather as much information as possible. Anticipation: Using visual information, you must predict the intentions of other road users or road hazards, giving yourself time to react before a problem occurs. Space Management: Maintaining safety distances (front, rear, and side) to ensure you have 'escape zones' and sufficient braking time in an emergency. The other options are incorrect because 'speed' or 'acceleration' are not pillars of safety; on the contrary, defensive driving usually requires moderating speed and being prepared to brake, not to accelerate.
