Question 8097

What does applying defensive driving techniques allow you to do?

  1. React quickly to an unexpected situation.
  2. Save fuel.
  3. Reduce the distance to the vehicle ahead without increasing the level of risk.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: React quickly to an unexpected situation.

With defensive driving, you observe, anticipate what might happen, and leave space. That way, when something unexpected happens, you are already prepared and react sooner. Reducing your following distance goes against defensive driving, because space is one of its principles. You may also use less fuel, but its purpose is safety.
