When people think of defensive driving, they often think of 'watching out for the other driver' or defending themselves from other drivers, so they won't be involved in a crash or collision. That's definitely important, but defensive driving involves more than just that. Defensive driving is as much about what you do and what kind of driver you are as it is about what someone else does. It's about being a safe driver, driving a safe vehicle, knowing how to drive your particular vehicle, taking responsibility for driving carefully in hazardous conditions, and knowing when to take yourself off the road. It's about arming yourself with all the knowledge you can before hit the road. This course is designed to give drivers of buses, shuttles, and large passenger vehicles a well-rounded look at the key concepts associated with defensive driving and provide tips and guidelines to prepare them for the everyday challenges on the road.This course was developed with subject matter support provided by EnSafe Inc., a global professional services company focusing on engineering, environment, health and safety, and information technology.
