Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: an attitude toward driving that allows the driver to travel more safely.
Defensive driving is an attitude. You look far ahead and around you, anticipate what others might do, and leave space, giving yourself time to react to something unexpected. Driving slowly is not part of it. You adjust your speed to the road and traffic.
