What does it mean to be a good driver?

Good driving is less about perfection and more about awareness, planning, patience and making decisions that create space for mistakes by other road users.

1

Think ahead

Ease off early when a hazard may develop rather than reacting at the last second.

2

Do not police other drivers

Your priority is reducing risk, not correcting someone else’s behaviour.

3

Control what you can

Calm decisions, safe spacing and good observation matter more than winning an argument on the road.
