IMPROVING ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY BY INTRODUCING PROTECTIVE DRIVING TRAINING

Abstract

Defensive driving is driving a vehicle in which the driver avoids road traffic accidents (RTA), regardless of road conditions and the actions of other road users. Professional drivers with extensive driving experience may be at risk of crashes due to factors beyond their control. This is because the actions of other road users have an impact on the overall situation, leading to numer-ous, dangerous situations. Defensive driving training does not improve the professional skills of drivers and road safety.
