Aggression and behaviour

Safe driving is largely a matter of behaviour and attitude. Aggressive driving — tailgating, cutting in, sounding the horn in anger, pressuring with full beam — increases the chance of accidents and solves nothing. Defensive driving means you allow for the mistakes of others, give space and do not insist on being "right". Example: someone cuts in front of you while merging. The temptation is to drive close or honk, but the safe response is to release the accelerator, restore your distance and carry on. Never react with retaliation. Also avoid distraction: do not operate a phone while driving (handheld calling is prohibited), set the navigation and music in advance, and stop when tired or emotional. A calm, anticipating driver makes fewer mistakes and arrives more safely.
