Eight Secrets of Super Driving
When you drive defensively, you're aware and ready for whatever happens. You are cautious, yet ready to take action and not put your fate in the hands of other drivers. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 90% of all crashes are attributed to driver error.
Following these defensive driving tips can help reduce your risk on the road:

Think safety first. Avoiding aggressive and inattentive driving tendencies yourself will put you in a strvonger position to deal with other people's bad driving. Leave plenty of space between you and the car in front. Always lock your doors and wear your seatbelt to protect you from being thrown from the car in a crash.
Be aware of your surroundings — pay attention. Check your mirrors frequently and scan conditions 20 to 30 seconds ahead of you. If a vehicle is showing signs of aggressive driving, slow down or pull over to avoid it. If the driver is driving so dangerously that you're worried, try to get off the roadway by turning right or taking the next exit if it's safe to do so. Also, keep an eye on pedestrians, bicyclists, and pets along the road.
Do not depend on other drivers. Be considerate of others but look out for yourself. Do not assume another driver is going to move out of the way or allow you to merge. Assume that drivers will run through red lights or stop signs and be prepared to react. Plan your movements anticipating the worst-case scenario.
Have an escape route. In all driving situations, the best way to avoid potential dangers is to position your vehicle where you have the best chance of seeing and being seen. Having an alternate path of travel is essential, so take the position of other vehicles into consideration when determining an alternate path of travel.
Follow the 3- to 4-second rule. Since the greatest chance of a collision is in front of you, using the 3- to 4-second rule will help you establish and maintain a safe following distance and provide adequate time for you to brake to a stop if necessary in normal traffic under good weather conditions.
Keep your speed down. Posted speed limits apply to ideal conditions. It's your responsibility to ensure that your speed matches conditions.
Separate risks. When faced with multiple risks, it's necessary to address them by separating risks. Your goal is to avoid having to deal with too many risk factors at the same time.
Cut out distractions. A distraction is any activity that diverts your attention from the task of driving. Driving deserves your full attention — so stay focused on the driving task.
If you're interested in taking a defensive driving course to help sharpen your driving knowledge and skills, contact your state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Most states maintain a list of approved defensive driving courses — many of which offer online programs. They cost money, but after successfully completing a course in some states, you may be eligible for insurance premium discounts, "positive" safe driving points, or other benefits.

Skills That Put You in Control
Before you get behind the wheel of that two-ton frame of glass and steel, here are some tips to help you stay in control:



Stay focused. You have a lot of things to think about when driving: road conditions, your speed, observing traffic laws, signs and signals, following directions, being aware of the cars around you, checking your mirrors — the list goes on. Staying focused on driving — and only driving — is key.

Distractions, like talking on the phone or eating, make a driver less able to see potential problems and react to them. It's not just teen drivers who are at fault: People who have been driving for a while can get overconfident in their driving abilities and let their driving skills get sloppy. All drivers need to remind themselves to stay focused.

Stay alert. Being alert (not sleepy or under the influence) allows you to react quickly to potential problems — like when the driver in the car ahead slams on the brakes at the last minute. Obviously, alcohol or drugs (including prescription and over-the-counter drugs) affect a driver's reaction time and judgment. Driving while drowsy has the same effect and is one of the leading causes of crashes. So rest up before your road trip.

Watch out for the other guy. Part of staying in control is being aware of other drivers and roadway users around you (and what they may suddenly do) so you're less likely to be caught off guard. For example, if a car speeds past you on the highway but there's not much space between the car and a slow-moving truck in the same lane, it's a pretty sure bet the driver will try to pull into your lane directly in front of you. Anticipating what another driver might do prepares you to react and helps reduce your risk.

If you've been out on the roads, you know that not everyone drives well. Some people speed aggressively. Others wander into another lane because they aren't paying attention. Drivers may follow too closely, make sudden turns without signaling, or weave in and out of traffic.



Aggressive drivers are known road hazards, causing one third of all traffic crashes.

But inattentive driving is becoming more of a problem as people "multitask" by talking on the phone, texting or checking messages, eating, or even watching TV as they drive.

We can't control the actions of other drivers. But learning defensive driving skills can help us avoid the dangers caused by other people's bad driving.

上路先假设别人是不会开车的，至少是不nice的。其次，尽量远离危险驾驶者，让他们先死。

不过，说起来容易，要做到：1，安全操控自己的车辆；2，不违章；3，be nice to the others；4，在保证车速随车流的前提下，远离危险驾驶者。。。。。。很难，也就是我这样的优秀老司机才能做到

小时候俺爹教俺学英语，俺爹说

会听才会说，会读才会写。

我认为在路上，会害人才会防人。

这个说法很新颖，也很有道理哈。

不过应用在道路交通上，还有点小小误差。很多情况下，有些道路使用者是无心地造成了别人的麻烦，比如技术能力差、观察不够细致、天生自我中心甚至有时只是走神。。。。。。这些都可能给其他车辆和行人造成潜在危险。既然我们不能要求每个道路使用者都是圣人，那就只好自己提高警惕啦。

不过你说的很有道理，如果自己没有过类似的经验，也总结不出来如何防范。

每个人都有年少轻狂的时候。

当年的教训就是现在的经验。

足迹上那么多朋友分享自己的事情，

写本终结完整版的驾驶手册绝对够了。

安全行车，需要细心、机敏的天赋，也要善于总结别人和自己的教训，如此积累，才能不断提升境界。

熟练驾驶车辆只是其中不可少的一步，遵守规则也是必须的，避免主动肇事也是肯定的，但要到达安全驾驶的最高境界，还需要上一个台阶：有能力避免他人错误所造成的事故。

我的经验是，超速可以，低速可以，被切可以，切别人可以，路怒可以。。。但是不可以自己超速被拍（不管是固定照相机还是躲在后面的警察），也就是不可以自己掏腰包付罚单（要罚也要让别人去付罚单）。。。

我就是这个境界的，我的底线是在安全的情况下开车，保证自己和车内乘客的安全。。。

还有晚上看不清楚后车是不是警车，所以晚上开车应该反而比较老实

这贴被博士回了。

哎

garysu

博士的回帖比较没建设性了

撞几次就知道，其实上路，遵守规则是一部分，更重要的是知道如何预判和避免危险，这种知识也丰富，水平越高。

不过最重要的还是避免任何因为自己（不太可能是自己了，不喝酒不地震我可以在任何情况下百分之百地完全操控自己的汽车），特别是避免因为他人的犯错（有些是小错误）而可能引起的事故。。。
避免任何罚单是我的第一道底线，避免事故（特别是一定避免伤人事故，这个在我开车时的发生概率是0.00000000%, nil）是我最后一道底线
很久以前不伤人的小事故（两车碰擦）自己还是碰到过的。。。

挺不错刚好给这里的offensive driver借鉴哈

拿到驾照的第一天就开始自学网上的Defensive Driving的材料。现在的问题是，还有没有必要花钱去学RACV的DD的课程。
