Stay Alert: The Foundation of Defensive Driving

Defensive driving begins with attention. Every time you get behind the wheel, you're responsible for staying mentally and physically present.

Key Points:

• Eliminate distractions (phones, eating, adjusting controls)
• Keep both hands on the wheel
• Scan the road ahead, not just the car in front of you
• Check your mirrors every 5-10 seconds
• Stay aware of blind spots

Remember, a momentary lapse in attention can have serious consequences. Make every drive count by staying 100% focused on the road.
