    Defensive Driving
    In all cases, while opera�ng a motor vehicle, drivers should prac�ce defensive driving techniques. Defensive
    driving is the art of driving so as to prevent and avoid traffic crashes, regardless of the unsafe condi�ons and
    ac�ons created by other drivers and adverse road and or weather condi�ons.

    A good defensive driver will prac�ce the following eight techniques.


     Glance well ahead in the direc�on of travel. Look 2 or 3 vehicles ahead to observe
    driving condi�ons in front of you. This allows you to consider a condi�on before you
    reach it.
     Get the "big picture"; learn to see the en�re roadway. Sweep the scene, sides and
    back. Avoid "tunnel vision". Keep your eyes moving; Posi�on vehicle slightly offset to
    traffic to increase your field of vision.
     Always allow an escape route, leave a cushion by slowing or moving ahead of the
    vehicles beside you.
     Keep your vehicle visible and signal your inten�ons early.
     When stopped prior to making le� turns across incoming traffic leave wheels straight
    to prevent being pushed into oncoming traffic in the event of a rear-end crash.
     When entering intersec�ons prac�ce looking le�/right/le�. Be sure to come to a full
    stop before proceeding.
     Learn to compensate for hazards such as weather, debris, potholes, loose gravel, or
    sand; and
     ALWAYS maintain a cau�ous driving a�tude.
     Remember, when entering a Rotary that Massachusets law requires you to yield to
    vehicles already in the Rotary.
