Question 4200

Are efficient driving techniques the same thing as defensive driving?

  1. Yes, they are the same.
  2. No, they are different techniques, but they complement each other.
  3. No, efficient driving techniques are more effective than defensive driving.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, they are different techniques, but they complement each other.

No. Efficient driving aims to use less fuel and produce less pollution, while defensive driving aims to prevent crashes by anticipating risks. They are different techniques that complement each other, because both call for looking far ahead, keeping a safe following distance, and driving smoothly. Neither is more effective than the other, because they have different goals.
