Your Driving, the Road, and

the Vehicle

Defensive Driving

Defensive driving means “always expect the

unexpected.” The ﬁrst step in driving defensively is to

wear your safety belt — See Safety Belts: They Are for

Everyone on page 2-14.

{ WARNING:

Assume that other road users (pedestrians,

bicyclists, and other drivers) are going to be

careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they

might do and be ready. In addition:

• Allow enough following distance between you

and the driver in front of you.

• Focus on the task of driving.

Driver distraction can cause collisions resulting in

injury or possible death. These simple defensive

driving techniques could save your life.

Drunk Driving

{ WARNING:

Drinking and then driving is very dangerous. Your

reﬂexes, perceptions, attentiveness, and judgment

can be affected by even a small amount of alcohol.

You can have a serious — or even fatal — collision

if you drive after drinking. Do not drink and drive or

ride with a driver who has been drinking. Ride home

in a cab; or if you are with a group, designate a

driver who will not drink.

Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is

a global tragedy.

Alcohol affects four things that anyone needs to drive a

vehicle: judgment, muscular coordination, vision, and

attentiveness.

Police records show that almost 40 percent of all motor

vehicle-related deaths involve alcohol. In most cases,

these deaths are the result of someone who was

drinking and driving. In recent years, more than

17,000 annual motor vehicle-related deaths have been

associated with the use of alcohol, with about

250,000 people injured.
