Defensive Driving | Learn to drive: Expert skills

We are never too far from risk when driving, as we can’t control the way other motorists drive or what hazards we might find on the road ahead of us. To remain safe we must use our experience and judgement to drive in a way that will allow for other peoples mistakes or unseen hazards - this is called defensive driving. In this video, we will show how we use the basic principles of defensive driving to keep safe and decrease the chance of having an accident.  As always, if you have any questions about the video then please leave a comment and we will reply as soon as we can.
