• Driving is something that can be learnt easily
  but it needs to be practiced to become a safe
  driver. No matter how much you learn in a driving
  school, you ought to keep practicing those things
  until driving becomes your second nature. When
  you join a driving school, the driving instructor
  Rugby would tell you about the defensive driving
  tips. Here are these tips following which you can
  save lives, money and time, irrespective of the
  prevailing conditions around you
• Look as far as possible To be a defensive
  driver, you must develop the habit of looking
  down the road as far as possible. When you are
  able to look far ahead, you can anticipate any
  oncoming dangers and avoid them in good time.
• Have an escape plan ready The Warwickshire
  driving trainer would advise you to have an
  escape plan ready at all times when you are
  behind the wheels. There can be so many
  situations when you would find yourself in
  danger. A dog could suddenly come on to the road,
  another car could have a tire burst while driving
  making the car go out of control or there could
  be a sudden pile up of cars. So, you must be
  alert and attentive at all times to handle the
  situation as it comes.

• Manageable Speed The driving guide Rugby
  Lutterworth would always insist that you drive
  slowly if you wish to be a defensive driver.
  Driving slowly means that your vehicle or your
  car should be in your control. You should be able
  to handle it in case of an emergency. If the
  speed is low, managing your car would not be
  difficult. Things take an ugly turn when the
  speed of the car is very high. Anything can
  happen at that time.
• Safe Following Distance If you are able to
  maintain a safe following distance, you are able
  to win half the battle. The inability to keep a
  safe distance between vehicles is a prime reason
  for the majority of accidents that happen.
  Therefore, when driving on an expressway where
  the speeds can reach up to 120 mph, you should
  try to keep a safe distance from other vehicles.
• No driving distractions there are so many
  driving distractions these days that simply
  keeping your eyes on the road and your hands on
  the wheels is next to impossible. However, the
  most important defensive driving tip is to keep
  away from all the driving distractions like
  eating, drinking, talking on the phone, texting
  or viewing something on the on-board flat screen
  television.
