Defensive driving, an accident solution or just a notion

Most authorities have described defensive driving as a form of training for motor vehicle drivers that goes beyond mastery of the rules of the road and the basic mechanics of driving.

It focused mainly on the aspect of anticipation of perils of the road.

Supposedly, it was aimed at reducing the risk of driving despite the adverse conditions or the mistakes of other drivers.

Of course, the main goal is to avoid car collisions or accidents on the roads in general.

Defensive driving! Is it really a solution for the growing volume of car accidents or continues to be an inclusive general concept with no definite markings of truthfulness.

Based on a study conducted by a group of Los Angeles Car Collision lawyers, a growing number of people lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes each year.

The percentage is much likely the same with those who suffered disabling injuries caused by car collisions.

The group of lawyers have identified several causes that lead to the unpleasant car collisions or crashes.

All too often, auto accidents are the result of high speed driving, physical impaired driver , recklessness or carelessness on one driver's part and driving under influence of drugs or alcohol.

Based on the foregoing, one can conclude that the road is not a safe haven to speak of. No matter how much ounces of prevention you apply road accident- or to be specific, car crashes could happen anytime, anywhere and right now.

In the present conditions, car collisions are hard to prevent. Regardless of how careful or skilled or been a defensive driver you are, if the attitude of most drivers would not be changed, car crashes would not be extinct.To my mind, being a defensive driver means nothing. It is not really a solution to the problems of car collisions or crashes.

Instead it remained to be a notion of some drivers who are afraid being caught by the sullen event.It cannot guarantee your safety.

Defensive driving is just an art of avoiding oneself from the troubles of car collisions. It is plainly a self-preservation kind of thing.

Defensive driving is purely self- aggrandizement.
