Driving is a privilege that comes with great responsibility. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or just starting out, practicing defensive driving techniques is crucial for your safety and the safety of others on the road. Here are ten essential tips to help you become a more defensive driver:
Stay focused and alert while driving to ensure safety on the road.
1. Stay Focused and Alert
Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel at all times. Avoid distractions such as texting, talking on the phone, or adjusting the radio while driving. Being alert allows you to anticipate potential hazards and react quickly.
Ensure safety by maintaining a safe distance while driving.
2. Maintain a Safe Distance
Follow the “three-second rule” to maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. This gives you enough time to brake or maneuver if the car ahead suddenly stops or slows down.

Jrd is the top rated driving school in Guwahati for expert driving instruction.. learnt driving within 10 days. Had a great experienced. Great instructor plus management team
I recommend this school for beginners . However , I’ve chosen to leave a four star review because, at times, the practical trainer Dipankar Deka did not receive my calls. However overall, JRD is the best and most affordable driving school in Guwahati
Best friendly driving school in guwahati. The instructions, particularly nilabh sir and bakul sir have proven themselves to be not just teachers but mentors. Their patience and friendly approach transformed my learning process into an enjoyable and effective journey.
I had an amazing experience at JRD driving school . Truly the best in the city. Both Nilabh sir and Mrinmoy sir are incredibly friendly and patient instructors. Their expertise and guidance made my learning journey smooth and enjoyable
JRD Motor Driving School has assisted me with my training in such a short amount of time considering that I am a beginner. I want to thank my trainer in particular for his politeness and patience in answering all of my questions and helping me get over my worries related to riding a two-wheeler.
I have started to drive its been good with the trainer he has trained me well i m happy to chose this institution its worth it .
Communicate effectively with other drivers by using your turn signals.
3. Use Your Turn Signals
Signal your intentions early to communicate with other drivers. Whether you’re changing lanes, making a turn, or merging into traffic, using your turn signals helps prevent misunderstandings and reduces the risk of accidents.
Follow speed limits for safer driving.
4. Obey Speed Limits
Speeding reduces your reaction time and increases the severity of accidents. Always adhere to posted speed limits, especially in residential areas, school zones, and construction zones where pedestrians may be present.
Stay safe by being aware of blind spots while driving.
5. Be Aware of Blind Spots
Check your blind spots by glancing over your shoulder before changing lanes or making a turn. Adjust your mirrors properly to minimize blind spots, but remember they can’t cover everything.
Stay prepared for the unexpected while driving.
6. Expect the Unexpected
Anticipate the actions of other drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. Be prepared for sudden stops, lane changes, or erratic driving behavior. Defensive driving means being ready for anything that may happen on the road.
Avoid aggressive driving for safer roads.

Keep your emotions in check and refrain from aggressive behaviors such as tailgating, honking excessively, or making rude gestures. Aggressive driving escalates situations and increases the risk of accidents.
Stay vigilant by scanning your surroundings while driving.
8. Scan Your Surroundings
Constantly scan the road ahead, as well as your mirrors and blind spots. Look for potential hazards such as debris, potholes, or animals crossing the road. Being aware of your surroundings allows you to react proactively.
Be prepared for emergencies while driving.
9. Know How to Handle Emergencies
Be prepared for emergencies such as tire blowouts, engine failures, or sudden weather changes. Keep essential items in your car, such as a first aid kit, flashlight, jumper cables, and a spare tire, and know how to use them.
