A Defensive Driver Increases his Driving Knowledge
It would help if you tried to learn more about defensive driving techniques. If you are willing to become a defensive driver, then your ability to recognize the driving hazards on the road must be excellent. You should also be aware of the traffic laws in your country and the expected behaviour of the commuters on your daily commute.
A Defensive Driver is Alert of their Surroundings
As a defensive driver, you should look forward to developing the habit of being alert about traffic conditions. This is important because your altered mental and physical health can affect your driving behaviour and alert levels. Therefore, focus on the traffic coming from your front, sides, and rear. It would help if you also learned to use your side mirrors and rear mirrors correctly because they will aid you in enhancing your overall alertness levels.
