Road safety is one of the main goals of every driver. Defensive driving is a set of rules and principles that can help you reduce your risk of accidents and improve your safety.

Respect for other road users
One of the core principles of defensive driving is respect for other drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Remember that every road user has equal rights and responsibilities, and no one should be put at risk.

Mindfulness and concentration
To drive safely, you need to be alert and concentrated. Keep your eyes on the road at all times, especially in difficult weather conditions or at night. Do not be distracted by talking, music or mobile phone as this may cause an accident.

Proper route planning
Before you hit the road, be sure to study the route and check it for traffic jams or accidents. This will help you save time and avoid unexpected situations on the road.

Compliance with speed limits
Speed is one of the key safety factors on the road. Always adhere to the posted speed limit and consider road conditions. If you see that the speed of the traffic is significantly lower than the set speed, then it is better to slow down your car.

Driving training and skills improvement
Regular training and improvement of your driving skills will help you become a more confident and safe driver. Attend driving courses, read specialized literature, train your skills on the race track.

Compliance with traffic rules
Traffic rules are the basis of road safety, so compliance with them is mandatory. Do not violate traffic rules even in the most minor situations, as each violation can lead to unpleasant consequences.

Regular car maintenance
Timely replacement of oil, filters and other consumables will help maintain the performance of your car and prevent possible breakdowns. Also, do not forget to check the condition of the brake system, steering and suspension.

Psychological preparation
Defensive driving also includes psychological preparation of the driver. Be calm and confident while driving, do not panic or become aggressive on the road. If you have health problems or stressful situations, it is better to stop driving and seek professional help.

In conclusion, defensive driving is not only a set of rules, but also the ability to analyze the situation on the road and make the right decisions.
