Explanation
Being a defensive driver means staying alert and watching the road ahead, behind, and around your vehicle at all times to avoid potential dangers. If a crash cannot be avoided, it’s usually safer to steer to the right - even off the road - than to risk hitting oncoming traffic or losing control by braking suddenly.
In an emergency, choose the option with the least danger. For example, it’s better to hit a bush than a solid object like a tree or pole. If another vehicle is involved, it's generally less dangerous to hit one moving in the same direction as you rather than one coming toward you. Making quick, smart decisions can greatly reduce your risk of serious injury.
