Defensive
Driving
The best
advice
anyone
can
give
about
driving
is:
Drive
defensively,
Please
start
with
a
very
important
safety
device
in
your
vehicle:
Buckle
up.
(See
“Safety
Belts”
in
the
Index.)
Defensive
driving
really
means
“be
ready
for anything.” On city
streets,
rural
roads,
or
freeways,
it means
“always
expect
the
unexpected.”
Assume
that
pedestrians
or
other
drivers
are
going
to
be
careless
and
make
mistakes.
Anticipate
what
they
might
do.
Be
ready
for their
mistakes.
Rear-end
collisions
are
about
the
most
preventable
of
accidents. Yet they
are
common.
Allow
enough
following
distance.
It’s
the
best
defensive
driving
maneuver,
in
both
city
and
rural
driving.
You never
know
when
the
vehicle
in
front
of
you is going
to
brake or turn
suddenly.
Drunken
Driving
Death
and
injury
associated
with
drinking
and
driving
is
a
national
tragedy.
It’s
the
number
one
contributor
to
the
highway
death
toll,
claiming
thousands
of
victims
every
year.
Alcohol
takes
away
three
things
that
anyone
needs
to
drive
a
vehicle:
Judgment
Muscular Coordination
Vision
Police records
show mar almost
half
of
all motor
vehicle-related
deaths
involve
alcohol
-
a
driver,
a
passenger or someone
else,
such
as
a
pedestrian,
had
been
drinking.
In
most
cases,
these
deaths
are
the
result
of
someone
who
was
drinking
and
driving.
About
20,000
motor
vehicle-related
deaths
occur
each
year
because
of
alcohol,
and
thousands
01
people are injured.
Just
how
much
alcohol
is
too
much
if
a
person
plans
to
drive?
Ideally,
no
one
should
drink
alcohol
and
then
drive.
But
if
one
does,
then
what’s
“too
much”? It can
be
a
lot
less
than
many
might
think.
Although
it depends
on
each
person
and
situation,
here
is some.genera1
information
on
the
problem.
The
Blood
Alcohol
Content
(BAC)
of
someone
who is drinking
depends
upon four things:
How
much
alcohol
is
in
the
drink.
0
The
drinker’s
body
weight.
The amount of food
that is consumed
before
and
during
drinking.
The length of
time
it
has
taken the
drinker
to
consume
the
alcohol.
