Defensive Driving is ‘Driving expecting the unexpected’. You have to drive giving allowance for other road users behaviour. The National Safety Council of U.S.A defines Defensive Driving as ‘Driving to save lives, time and money inspite of the conditions around you and the actions of others’.
 

Defensive driving is discipline driving. Defensive drivers must exhibit patience, cooperation and courtesy.

As a Member of AASI we request you be a Defensive Driver and take

a pledge to observe Rules of the Road for Self discipline is the sure

way for Road Safety.
